I have simulated a bread production system. there are 3 products made, namely bread A, B and C. I want to find the optimal production lot size to produce maximum output. but the results of optquest show the best iteration and feasible iteration with the same value as in the following figure. Is this normal, or maybe there is an error at a certain point?
As additional information: as parameters in this model are the production lot size of each type of bread, and the oven lot size.
Additionally you can have a fixed number of lots produced. Your goal would be to minimize total production time. And your input varies the order of lots. Now you could split your lots in sub units additionally.
In the past we undertook a similar experiment which evaluated lot sizes in relation to costs of storage. Is it better to produce large lot sizes and increase the cost of storage or is it better to have a smaller storage capacity available and change more often product types.
thanks for the answer, if the optquest result is as shown in the figure, is it reasonable? because the best iteration has the same value as the feasible iteration.

You are trying to set the MaxContent of Combiners but the combiner logic does not use this property - you can't change its capacity like a processor - so all your trials are identical.
Instead you could try using the parameter onSet to create duplicates of the combiner - including connections - keep in mind how this might affect the port logic of the other connected objects.
