How to use the percentage option ?? How to build an inspection workstation ??

Good evening everybody,

Please, I need a detailed steps of the following, your help is highly highly appreciated:

Is there any item that make the work of an inspection station?? Or in other words, how to modify the options of a "processor" using a percentage, that 90% of the inputs are defects-free and shall continue in Path1 of the assembly line, while the 10% remaining are parts-defective, and shall continue in a different path (for a rework station or something), then later the product joins back Path1 of the assembly line, and continues processing from a certain workstation ??

I hope you got my idea. Thank you so much in advance.

@Gasser Y You can use the processor object to do these steps, see the example below

@Gasser Y With port in the "Send to Port" Strategy FlexSim assignes the Output port of the actual object. So with adding "A" Connections you can refer directly to another object.

To find out what port ist connected to what object you can either follow the Connection, press the "V" Button (for Inputs and Outputs, "C" for Centerports) and click on an object, or have a look in the Generals Tab of the GUI.

@sebastian.hemmann I am sorry, but I don't get it.

Let me put it this way;

In the image provided by Rodrigo Lamass' answer, The flow of the workstation "Processor1" is controlled by percentage, 90% goes to Port1, and 10% goes to Port2. And in the assembly line, "Processor1" is the supplier to workstations "Retrabalho" and "Linha".

So, my question is: Which workstation (Retrabalho/Linha) is supplied by the 90% (Port1), and which is supplied by the 10% (Port2) ?? How do I know, or how do I assigned the ports to the workstations ??

@Gasser Y

as you can see in the Picture of Rodrigo Lamass answer the "Processor1" has 1 Input (small green triangle on the left upper Corner) from "Source1" and 2 Outputs (2 small red triangles on the right upper Corner) to "Linha" and "Retrabalho". The Count of these Connections is in order of their creation and so the Connection to "Linha" is Port 1.

If you use the "V" Button or have a look into the General Tab there also a port number is writen! If you want to Change the port numbers, you can do it be erase all Connections and add them again in the new order you like, or by directly Change the rank in General Tab.
