* NOTE Example 8-1: If you are running example 8-1 using Arena's academic/demo version you realise that thea warning/error will pop up after a while declaring that "you have exceeded 150 entities" . This is due the fact that the model is generating too many entities i.e. exceeding the allowance for the demo version. This could be due to parts waiting behind resources to be processed or too many entities being generated. Do not worry - by changing the time between arrivals or reducing the processing time you can solve this at this stage. Later on you will use the Balking example to monitor the number of entities behind queues and will be able to to troubleshoot this sort of problem. However, your individual assignments are designed that you should not have this issue at all. Therefore, if you encounter this error whilst completing your assignment this means that there is a logical problem in your model that you need to solve.
