How create separate items based on objects in general process flow?

Hi Team,

I am working on flow where processes are dependent. After creating main process, I have to create multiple lineside stock with respect to machines. I am looking for best way to achieve it so that I can also scale it up to number of machines if required.

In this screenshot, I am looking for creating separate stock for each object so that respective item will be pulled on machine.

How to achieve it?

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

Hello @Ankur A3,

You seem to be missing join activities.

Also could you describe what you are wanting logic wise? I think this could be simplified so it could scale easier, but I need to understand better what you are wanting to accomplish.

Hi @Jeanette F,

Sorry, I couldn't explain you. I am only looking for approach to model supporting stock with respect to each machine which can be scalable if required. Please find here my requirements here:

Let me know if you have any other clarity.

Thank you!

So when you say scalable, Do you want to increase the number of machines or the number of types of products, like adding a purple product?

Hello @Ankur A3,

To increase the number of processor you have the process flow resource reference the first processor for each color. Then in the process flow resource you can change the count. Please note that it will place the processors in the same location, so to see them you have to move them.
