Simulation of a productionprocess with finite storage
Posted: Wednesday 17 December, 2014 - 14:44
For my thesis i wanna use enterprise dynamics to simulate the current production process and a new view on the process.
I'm having a hard time simulating the current process because the storage between 2 processes is supposed to be finite.
This means that only 1 product can be in storage (queue) at a certain time.
My process is as follows:
Infinite storage at the beginning(Source atom) --> Server that processes atoms at a certainpace per minute --> five finite storages (queue atom) --> 2 servers that work indepent from eachother, working at a certainpace per minute. --> (sink atom)
How can i trigger the second storage level to close when it receives a batch of atoms.
Second question
I wanna send batches in a conditional way to certain storages. if a batch is smaller than X pieces go to storage 1,2,3 if a batch is larger than X pieces go to 4,5... is this also possible?
