Last lot from batching queue

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how to send the last lot which is incomplete to the next process please.

In my simulation it's Qmold who has lot=80 but the last one is about 16.

Here is my simulation : EOL.fsm

FlexSim 23.1.2

Hi @Mad2411! I would add a max wait time to your queue. That way your last batch will get processed, I used the value shown below:

105000s seems like a good choice because the longest wait time in your batches previously was just under that at around 104,000. Does that help?

Yes thank you ! Can you please show me how to see the longest wait time so I can apply this on all queues.

Queues (and other fixed resource) collect certain statistics that can be viewed in the properties panel. Julie likely used the maximum staytime.

As an alternative approach to the timer, I wrote some code in the OnEntry trigger that releases all items from the queue if both 'Mold2' and 'Queue1' are empty when a new item enters.
