Arrival sequence and processing sequence

Hello!

I have two problems with my model:

1. Right now the arrivals of the resource are given by a distribution but for my model it doesn't work for me. I need to assign the arrival sequence of the resource but I don't have all the times defined, some times are distributions so I don't know how to use the arrival schedule option. Which option could i use?

2. For the processing sequence use global tables but some times are defined by distributions. The problem in the sequence is that they don't follow the order of the global tables. Also as another option, use the option values by case but it does not follow the order of the times either. How could I correct the processing sequence?

Hi Paulina,

I would use an Arrival Schedule source for all the exact times.

And another source for each distribution arrival.

In your case, one Arrival Schedule Source and two Inter Arrival Sources.

If you do not want the Inter Arrival Sources to keep throwing you product with the distribution time, you can close the output port of the source once you got one item (otherwise skip this). You can do this with the exit Trigger in the source:

I attach you an example
