I'm working on a decently complicated model and I'm quite new to FlexSim, so all recommendations will be extremely appreciated!
The most complicated part of my model, so far, has been the high volume of different labels that I would like to use. For the first half of the process that I'm modeling, the incoming items are sent to 1 of 80 different destinations. I have used historical data to determine the percent of time that an item is sent to each particular destination, which ranges from 0 to almost 8%. I tried to put all of these values in a Global Table, but I'm worried that the table is only registering three digits (0.01, for example, when the true value is 0.0058). My first concern is that I will not be able to find a method that can assign values to labels with percentages less than 1 percent.
The second concern that I have is where to assign these labels, and how exactly to go about that. I have tried to create string labels for each destination that is the 3-character code for that destination, but I haven't quite figured out where those need to be referenced yet. This first part of my model is pretty simple- one source attached to a queue that pushes to a list ("Ready Items"), and processors (represent the 80 destinations) that pull those items from that list. I would like each processor/destination to pull only the items that match the destination assigned at creation.
Thanks in advanced for any recommendations/advice!
Edited to add: How should I connect the Global Table (assuming this is the best way to do this) to the list(s) that the queue pushes to and the destinations/sources pull from?
