How to assign 4 different product to 4 different coolers??

There are 130 trucks are coming from 8 am to 8 pm and each truck contains 20 pallets. So, total numbers of pallet will be 2600. There are 4 coolers for 4 products. Products are distributed by percentage.10% , 40%, 30%, 20% for product 1, product 2 , product 3 and product 4 respectively. Particular products are going from inbound conveyor to particular coolers.

From the given data , should get highlighted numbers of throughput of coolers. But, not getting exact numbers of inputs for coolers (e.g. cooler1-input).

10% of 2600 = 260

40% of 2600 = 1040

30% of 2600 = 780

20% of 2600 = 520

I am attaching the model below. Run-length of model is 24 hr. ( 8 am to 2 am). Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This Example uses a list and pulls values of the list to reduce a unit field value. The list value is just an index. The index correlates to a global table to update the daily or any other stock of available items to create in the model.

  1. List("dailyParts").pull("SELECT unit ORDER BY RAND()",1.0,1.0,token,0,0)

random_Ratio_by_list.fsm

Here is a different example to keep a balance constant.
