overtake the stafF

스크린샷349.png


Hello.
I made a post because I had a question.

I found similar questions, but I couldn't apply them to my model.

-

For a really simple example model,
The staff in the front is slower than the staff in the back.

I'd like to have the staff at the back overtake the staff at the front.
Using Patient Flow.

-

Thank you for your help.

If you don't want the travellers to completely ignore each other you can try to use the dynamic barrier system Anthony Johnson demonstrated in a Kiva model some time ago.

https://answers.flexsim.com/articles/107103/example-kiva-system-model.html

Whenever a travellers becomes blocked, stop and resume them so they recalculate the path and set all other travellers as dynamic barriers so they try to route around them.

If you use an Object Process Flow to trigger the path recalculation you can get reference to the other travellers by looking at the connected instance objects, so you can set as dynamic barriers. (Make sure to exclude the blocked traveller itself)

Thank you. That's exactly the way I wanted it.


However, the reason why the thank you came so late is because I have been applying the method you have taught us. But it didn't work out.

It may be a rude request, but can I get the example file you showed me when you answered? I think it will be a great help to study.


Thank you,

Jerry.

@Jerry, please upload your model. It is easier to understand, what is not working in your model and it is sparing some time not to build a complete new model. Thanks!

It was just to tear up the data in the example model of the kiva system one by one and assemble it. It's hard to see even me.


That's how the Dynamic Barrier Management part was solved in Felix Möhlmann's photo,

I'm not sure what should go into the two codes in Recalculate Path When Blocked.


Thank you.

Jerry.

Let's take a look at each one by one by one.

Thank you very much.
