Hi, I hope you are well!
What arrival approach should I use in my source for the following snapshot of an excel sheet:
I wish to replicate the times statistically in flexsim. The factory imports 5 different raw materials and I have the sheets of delivery times of the 5 materials for each day of the month.
I have tried arrival sequence, times of day etc... but can't seem to replicate it correctly to be similar for a month of arrivals.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Not sure what you mean by "replicate the times statistically" - you can fit them to an interarrival time distribution or Poisson arrvivals by hour.
If you're just trying to import the data into FlexSim then you can transform the data to FlexSim time units (usually seconds).
In the example the start is just A5+B5 and then the time for row 5 is (B5+A5-$B$2)*86400
