This question compares open and closed queuing systems. Use
the Penny Fab simulation (Penny Fab_CW.mox) in the Examples/Models
and Methods folder. Simulate the system with the WIP set
to 8 with 10 runs of 1000 minutes each. Observe the production
rate. Change the simulation to have a deterministic release
mechanism with an equivalent production rate. Compare the CONWIP
release policy to the deterministic in terms of cycle time and
average WIP.
