How to start two processes at the same time in the process flow.

Hello! I'm developing an academic work with the objective of simulating the Mc Donald's production line. I'm new to Flexsim and I have a few questions to get the kitchen operators to start executing orders as soon as customers place their orders with the cashier.

Olá! Estou desenvolvendo um trabalho acadêmico com o objetivo de simular a linha de produção do Mc Donald's. Sou iniciante no Flexsim e estou com algumas dúvidas para fazer com que os operadores da cozinha iniciem a execução dos pedidos assim que os clientes fazem seus pedidos com o atendente do caixa.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.3

You can use the split function and then the join function. Split will split your token in two. One for the customer to wait for the order at the table, and the other for the employee to place the order. The Join function joins the two tokens (they manage to match according to a label) and the flow continues normally with only one token representing the customer. I am attaching a print of how the process flow would look and an example in FlexSim.

Você pode utilizar a função split e depois a função join. O Split vai dividir seu token em dois. Um para o cliente aguardar o pedido na mesa, e o outro para que o funcionário possa realizar o pedido. A função Join junta os dois tokens (eles conseguem dar o match de acordo com uma label) e o fluxo segue normalmente com apenas um token representando o cliente. Estou anexando o print de como ficaria o process flow e um exemplo no FlexSim.
