When Will You Need This? When you're in a situation where you have entities (Ex: Aircraft or a truck), that you want to stay at a process (Loading/Off-loading dock) until the entities created (Ex: Pallets/Goods) are offloaded from it. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Flow Control [...]
When Will You Need This? These model objects are created to work with each other. Like lego pieces the model objects can be joined together and will help to quickly develop the interrelationship batches of production with a machine, a worker, setup times, load and unload times, downtimes and inspection. When a cell change over [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to graphically display when a variable changes levels. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Visual Indicator \ Wip Traffic Light, Horizontal. Ease of Use: Easy Ease of Modification: Moderate How to Use the Model Object 1. Open Your Model [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to graphically show the level of a variable in relation to user defined quantities. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Visual Indicator \ Meter1. Ease of Use: Moderate Ease of Modification: Moderate How to Use the Model Object 1. [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to use a meter to show how full, by percentage, a selected activity, queue or storage is with respect to it's total capacity. The meter provides a quick, dynamic visual representation during the simulation. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to create a visual display of variable values in your model during simulation. Create an easy method to debug logic by displaying variable values during a simulation run, and a single place where KPI's can be displayed. Model Object The following model object can be found in [...]
When Will You Need This? When you need to display the value of a single integer variable in a large digital display. Caution -- This Model Object can only be used once in your model. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Visual Indicator \ Digital [...]
When Will You Need This? When you want to randomize the order in which resources are gotten. This will more evenly distribute the utilization of each resource, particularly when using boolean expressions to select from multiple possible resources. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Utilization \ Randomize [...]
When Will You Need This? When you want to get one of multiple resources in a preliminary process step, then get the same resource for work on the same entity at a later process step. Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Utilization \ Get the Same Resource [...]
When Will You Need This? When you want to sequentially vary the order in which resources are gotten. This will more evenly distribute the utilization of each resource, particularly when using boolean expressions to select from multiple possible resources Model Object The following model object can be found in the model objects directory: Utilization \ Alternate [...]
