🧺 Laundry Room Linen Flow: Washers, Dryers, Trolleys and the Bottleneck Pile-Up Lab

A 3D laundry room as a batch-flow system: random daily linen arrivals feed washers (45 min) and dryers (60 min) with trolleys as buffers. Find the bottleneck, balance the washer to dryer ratio, watch pile-ups form, and check the simulated waiting time against the Pollaczek-Khinchine formula and Little's law.
