All,
I'm wanting my sources to to "arrive" when I have 2 operators available, instead of entering certain times in the arrival time table. how, if possible can I achieve this? Thanks
Instead of using a Source, I would use a Queue. Then send a message when 2 operators are available to the Queue and create the flowitem in the Queue.
If you need more specific help, please send in your model or a sample model of what you are trying to do.
Thanks.
Unfortunately I didn't. I called the service center and they made a process flow for my scenario but it failed. I'm not well versed in using Process Flows to begin with. My entire model does not use one.

Attached is a simple model that shows you how to create flowitems in a Queue. I initially load the Queue with 10 flowitems in the OnReset trigger of the Queue. Then in the OnExit trigger of the Queue, if the Queue content is <= 5, I send a message back to itself to create 5 more flowitems. Let me know if this will work for you. If not, could you send your model so that I can see what you need to have happen?
Thanks.
You also can use a source and add a Processor directly behind it. Connect the processor to a Dispatcher and say the Processor should use more than one Operator for Process. This would mean the Processor calls both Operators for the process and the item is just released after the process. Be Aware, that the processtime in this case has to be greater than Zero (e.g. 0.0001) otherwise the Operators won´t be called.
The Operators than both travel to the processor and process the item (very short).
