On-shift activation

Hi there,

In the model attached, how do we make sure that when operators switch from off-schedule state/location to getting to work, they check whether the count of active operators within their designated group falls below a predefined threshold? So, they only start into on-shift mode if the number of active operators in their group is below a certain limit. So, how is that possible?

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.2

time table off schedule on state change

Where did you define your threshold? Can't you set the number of operators as a parameter instead?

Currently, I haven't defined any specific threshold. If I designate the number of operators as a parameter, would the operators in shift 2 wait until those in shift 1 complete their tasks before taking over?

Instead of acquiring and releasing resources, give the jobs to a dispatcher. Then close the inputs of the operators when they go offshift and open the inputs when they come on shift.

@Jason Lightfoot can you show how we give jobs to dispatcher?

I never used it actually.
