PART 1 . Using IDEF 0 methodology,, draw a complete model to specify an organization of your choice (industrial, service, or public) . This model should specify the organization down to its 2nd level of decomposition (ii..ee..,, include function blocks at the Ax level)) , taking into consideration of all the aspects,, such as those identified in the FIVE categories in a typical industrial system..

Follow strictly the cross – checking steps to ensure the integrity of your model::

1.. Specify and Cross – Check a function block:: f or each of the Inputs,, cross – check for its related Output(s);; for each of the Out put s , cross – check for its related Input(s); for each of the Mechanism and Control,, check what it is used for..

2.. Decompose , if needed,, to 3 – 5 next level functions . For each of these sub – level functions:

 Carry out the Specify and Cross – Check as outlined in (11))

 Establish relationships amongst these functions through flow of Inputs,, Outputs,, Controls and Mechanisms

 Cross – Check Integrity of Decomposition : lower – level definition should represent EXACTLY its higher level function..

3.. Repeat step 2 until the required level of detail is reached..

You should provide a textual description of the overall system//organization of concern,, as well as for each of the function blocks presented in the model..

PART 2.. From your IDEF model of the organization,, pick up two related functions.. D raw an Activity – Cycle – Diagram to illustrate how the dy namic interaction takes place..

PART 3 . Explain,, with flowchart if necessary,, how simulation process can be logically carried out to estimate the system performance in terms of average lead time,, and//or average resources utilization.. Then,, for the ACD model of Part 2:

 Assign time elements involved (such the average and distribution times of arrival, and machining//process//service times))

 Carry out a simulation,, physically,, and estimate the values related to system performance such as the mean throughput and /or the average waiting times..
