How to require a certain number of products in Process Flow before moving on?

New Innision Simulering_autosave.fsm
Hi FlexSim community,


I’m a beginner in simulation, and I'm developing a model that produces different types of products following different routes. I’m currently struggling with Process Flow: I want the first product type to pass through OFM1 and move on to its next destination, while the subsequent products follow the same logic. However, right now they all move simultaneously, causing the second product to skip the necessary process steps.


I’m using the “Wait for Event” function, with the change rule set to “Arrive at value.” The value is defined by token.Antall (representing quantity). Unfortunately, it’s not working as I expected.1743955876910.png


My goal is to have all the products wait in the queue until the entire batch is finished before moving on to the next destination. Does anyone know how to configure Process Flow to achieve this? This is very important to me, as I plan to apply the same logic to the rest of the Process Flow Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I would suggest to only use a single token per batch. That way it's much easier to control the batches and have them not mix by using zones that only allow a single token to enter at a time.
