order the parts when it reaches minimum Quantity

Hello,

In the model I have a "part consumed" buffer where 2 parts present "a" and "b" each of 2 quantity. When one part "a" consumed from 2 quantity of "a" then it should pull the "a" part from "orderbuffer".

Same for part "b" when one part of "b" is consumed by s1 then order part "b" from "orderbuffer".

The flow should be done by processflow with transporter. Please do help

Thank you.

Hello @Henna N, at this answer site exists a policy about academic integrity. Maybe you describe a bit more which structures and methods are a miracle for you and where you need support. Thanks!

What you describe looks like “kanban”. Perhaps you find answers for this keyword here at this site or videos in the internet.

Put the part type on a list (ReorderParts) when it falls below a level. Have the transporter pull replenishment part types off the list and use another list of items (AvailableParts) to pull the part types in the quantities you need and perform the replenishment,.
