Processflow: pulling resource based on the label value

Hi

I have a requirement where there is a pool of resource where they are classified according to a type. I would like to use processflow to pull a resource that is based on the type of job match with the resource type. How do I create such a model?

The following is an example: 3 types of resource say 1 to 3. Each type of resource has certain capacity available. For this case assume all are having 3. So I have job type that is duniform(1,3). Based on the job type the right type of resource is pulled.

Please advise me in how to create this model.

Thanks

David

@david.chan,

I don't know if you've received an answer to your question or not. Sorry if you haven't yet and that it has taken so long. Attached is a sample model, maybe not exactly what you are looking for but should probably work the same for you. You probably need to define your 3 resources that you want to draw from. Then in the Aquire Resource block, choose the Resources By Case. In the attached model I made a few changes to the default code which you may need to do yourself to make it work for you. But this way, depending on a return value (duniform(1,3)) you can use that value to select which Resource to choose from. I hope that this is what you were looking for? If not, let us know what other parameters you require for your situation.

Thanks.
