Loading Box in Tote

Simple Example Model Help.fsmSimple Example Model Help.fsmSimple Example Model Help.fsm Relatively simple problem, but not clear on best way to approach. I want to load boxes into a queue that is restricted to have 1 tote. Each tote would then be allowed to hold up to 4 boxes and then be held until it was moved to a final processor. Can someone help with how I would create the dependency that the tote is in the queue first, then allow with loading four boxes and then move to final processor? Sample model attached

Hi Michael,

I have slightly modified your model so that it follows the logic you described. I attach the new version here: simple-example-model-help.fsm

I essentially added three things to your process flow:

- A couple decide activities very similar to the one you already had created to check the loading/unloading conditions

- Some "Wait for event" activities for when those conditions aren't true, so that the model knows when to reevaluate them.

- A couple zones, to limit the tokens to one on each separate logic, so that the conditions will be evaluated for every single case independently and succesively.

I hardly recommend you take a look at the FlexSim user manual if you aren't familiar with any of the concepts described above. I hope it helps!
