Arrival sequence when start time and end time are flexible

Hi everyone,

I am working on a model where the start time and the end time are not clearly defined. That is for a given day, i have a number of jobs I need to perform on a certain equipment but I don't know exactly when the jobs start or end. I want to simulate this for a month and I don't know how to.

FlexSim 21.2.4

The process flow Date Time Source offers the option to create the tokens randomly distributed within the chosen timeframe.

To have more control, you could also create all tokens at the start of the day and delay them, with the delay time determined by a statistical distribution.
