I am new to FlexSim and trying to model a system with multiple processing arms.
An item arrives into the system approximately every 60 seconds, and is assigned to one of 3 queues (infeed). Each infeed can hold 2 items and items are added to the infeeds in the following sequence 1,1,2,2,3,3,1,1,2,2,3,3 and so on.
Once a queue has 2 items, it passes both of these items to a chamber (process) which takes approx 5 minutes and 30 seconds to complete, upon which the 2 items are then sent onto a combined line for onward processing.
While I can get the infeeds to wait for 2 items, it then only passes 1 onto the chamber for processing.
I could create dual processors for each infeed, but would prefer to do this with a single processor for each feed.
Do I need to use a combiner before the chamber, with a splitter afterwards?
