Dear Amir Ebadi, Attached you will find an example model for your situation, I hope I understood everything correctly. The model contains three workstations behind each other, each with a buffer in between. Furthermore I have three tables: - WorkElements, which has rows corresponding to the several ...

Dear Amir Ebadi, I do not competely understand what you mean when you say that work elements should only be assigned to one work station. Do you mean that a work element can only be assigned to one work station to work at one product at a time? This would mean that work element 3 cannot be assigned ...

Hello Eveline, I attached a model to explain a method that I think might help you. What I did is create a simple Source-Queue-Server-Sink model, where the server calls an agent for the incoming product on its enry trigger and releases this agent on its exit trigger. Unfortunately, for my method I ha...

Hello Eveline,

Kind regards,
