How to reduce the number of Queues and Combinators using the Global Table

Soy estudiante y tengo un proyecto urgente que presentar, soy novato usando flexsim.

El problema que tenemos ahora es que queremos eliminar todos los combinadores y colas, poner una tabla global para que los 5 tipos de clientes que tenemos tipo 1 con 2 tambores, tipo 2 con 4, tipo 3 con 6, tipo 4 con 10 y escriba 5 con 15 pase por una sola cola y un solo combinador.

Adjunto el modelo

Emb F.fsm

I am a student and I have an urgent project to present, I am a newbie using flexsim.

The problem we have now is that we want to remove all combinators and queues, put a global table so that the 5 types of clients we have type 1 with 2 drums, type 2 with 4, type 3 with 6, type 4 with 10 and type 5 with 15 pass through a single queue and a single combiner.

I attach the model

Hey @ByRex21, here's a simple example model that may help you understand how to implement what you want in your model.

combiners-and-queues.fsm

It's fairly simple. Create a token when the model starts and have it wait for a pallet to enter the combiner. When it does, check the "type" of that combiner. Then have a custom code look up the Quantity for that type in a Global Table. Get the proper values in the Combiner and set them. Should work as intended.
