Hello everyone in flexsim community. I am working on a picking model for a industrial plant, but i have encuontered numerous issues in my model that are tweeking the results that im shooting for and can't seem to fix em. Hope someone can help out.
1) Flowitems entering the system are beeing created at the frecuency of real time effects from 8 different source whom represent the items of the highest load volume. Items are picked from a global list daily, generated by a process flow and daily pulled from a list, that is sent to a global table and pick the amount of items that are in global table7.
The issue is items are not beeing pulled in quantites set by table, it only pulls 20 units of one givin flowitem and time goes by but process flow does not pull anymore items until items begin to accumulate in storage areas.
2) Something else I noted is that the system is not using the trasnporters to transport items from storage area to docking area. My intention is the program to calculate the distance travelled by forklifts givin the new layout.
3) I was following the movements of the taskexecuter "camion despachos" and noticed that he does not empty the full batch that is loaded but tends to unload an item at the corresponding Q and returns to the docking area to receive another item to fill in space left, this back and forth movement is really messing up the travel distance calculted for this resource. The idea is that the truck "camion depachos" loads a batch of 6 items then travels down the network node to the different corresponding storage Q and unloads where he shall park outside and transporter named Linde2 unloads its content into the Q which then is sent to a sink to exit the system.
Please If someone could provide help with these issues.
Thanks to all.
