Hello, I'm relative new on simulating with FlexSim and I'd like to have a help here. My source must generate 4 items which goes to a queue, then a processor will do the work in the sequence that the items went to the queue, but I need to have a setup time in a manner that I don' know how to do. The problem is that between the item 1 and 2 I don't need a setup, neither between the item 3 and 4, but between 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 2 and 3 or 2 and 4 I need a setup, how do I do it?
Thanks! :)
My suggestion is to group them using label. Item 1 & 2 as one group and 3 & 4 as another group. In picklist use the setup by item change. Go into the code instead of using itemtype use label.
I think implement this in 2017 update 1 is easier as itemtype is no longer an attribute but label.
Good luck
David
