ArrivalTime

Post by svendevries »

Hello,

I have a question about the ArrivalTime of my products.
I'm trying to use the ArrivalList. I need to program the following thing:

* There need to arrive 113 trucks between 13.30 - 20.30 with 4 - 16 products (discrete uniform)

How can i program this using ArrivalList, so what do i need to fill in at Arrival Time, Quantity.

Thanks

PS the 113 arrivals in the specific time period needs to be negative exponential

Hi Sven,

In the attachment you'll find some model suggetions.

Model components:
- Arrivallist: creates every 24 hours 113 products (trucks) at once. All these trucks go directly to the MultiService atom.
- MultiService: The MultiService adds a cycletime to the trucks. In this case negexp(hr(3.5)). As a results trucks may also arrive after 20:30. If this is not allowed you could for example choose to use the empirical distribution atom.
- Splitter: The splitter makes copies of the arriving products. 1 copy is sent to channel 1 (trucks); Uniform(4,16) copies are sent to channel 2 (products). If you want the products to be on the truck instead of transforming the truck into a certain number of copies you could use the Assembler atom.

Regards, Nick
