Question: Process flow by percentage and type

Hi,

in the model below, i would like to send different items Types from a queue to 4 different processors using a list.

At the moment, the model sends items according to their Types (Types 1 and 3 to the first 2 processors and 2 and 4 to the last 2 processors).

My question is: is it possible to keep this sending condition and add a percentage ?

i.e. i would like item type 1 to go 80% on processor 1 and 20% on processor 2, type 2 to go 60 on processor 3 and 40% on processor 4 and so on.

I would be grateful if someone can give me a help :P

Thanks in advance

You can use more queues. After the queue which divide type 1,3 and 2,4, you place for each pair a queue. The queue sends the item then by a dempirical statistical distribution. Empirical functions need global tables to choose from statistically percentage values to return discrete or continuous values. Please look into the manual for the empirical or dempirical function to build the table correctly.
