Pull from list based on Reorder point

Hello in my model I am creating parts using date-time source at Reman (has a variable named CAC with normal dist). Right now I am sending created parts to Q1 and Q2 from where there go into PDC list with a partition. I want PDC1 and PDC2 to pull parts from reman based on reorder points (not sure if Q1 and Q2 are required, can directly pull from Reman as long as I can specify distribution of a variable named CAC e.g. the distribution of CAC of parts pulled by PDC1 will follow uniform dist with some min and max). Reorder point of PDC1 is 10 and it will pull 25 parts. Reorder point of PDC2 is 5 and it will pull 10 parts.

Here's an example using an Object Process flow for the PDCs (and changing the process time to demonstrate it better). I'm not sure what you wanted to do with the CAC.

Hey this is working as I expect it to be. Is it possible to send items (reorder quantity) as a single batch?

They are released as a batch - it's just that they are feeding a processor that can only take one at a time. Put a queue in between the first queue and the processor and you'll see that.

Yes, but is it possible for them to transport at same time rather than 1 at a time?
