Batch size with process flow

Hi there, I have a problem about batches. I need to process batches that are defined by a Global Table called “batchsize” for each type of product, then the batches will be processed by a processor called “processor2”, here I have a Global Table for the time processes for each product called “processTime”. From here I have a queue called “queue2” where the completed batches will move, but if the batch is not completed because there is not available product, I want to move the incomplete batch. I use two transporters to move batches. My question is how process flow works to assignee the labels of 3D model to the tokens to do the logic that I need. Here I have an attached model for a better comprehension. Thanks for your supporting. batchsizemodel.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.3

processflow labels batch size

Hi @Andres M12,

It looks like this question may be part of a homework assignment or academic project. The professors who assign simulation modeling exercises using FlexSim expect that the academic integrity of their assignments will be maintained. In addition, we are supportive of Honor Codes or Pledges that regulate the behavior surrounding academic assignments.

I recommend reading our best practices page on the subject, which includes some resources that you should find helpful as you use FlexSim for academic purposes. I also highly recommend Dr. Allen Greenwood’s FlexSim Primer, which was written specifically for students and professors.

We are very happy to help students. Could you please ask a specific question about your model that you are having difficulty figuring out?

Hi @Jeanette F I am working with a little enterprise with the goal to improve their processes that is why I am using Flexsim and if someone could help me to find a solution for this issue would be great.

Event driven source assign involved item to a label with a name.

Set value from item label by referenced name of event driven source to label at token.
