how can I create a production plan from different sources?

1.hello everyone, I have a problem in the creation of flowitems with production plan, I would like different sources to create flowitems and stop and at a certain moment create again when the material in some station is finished, or how to make the operator pull more raw material from a source when the material has been finished at the station where I was doing a task. (that the source is not continuously creating flowitems, that the operator pulls the raw material)

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.0

@ernesto daniel AG,

If you could send us your model or a sample model of the problem that would be helpful. It's hard to answer specifics when we can't see what the model is doing.

Thanks.

One way to have the operators pull the raw material is to attach them to your sources, then in your flow tab on your sources select "Use Transport". This will use the operators as transporters and material will only enter a processor or fixed resource when the operator puts it there. Another is to open or close ports based on if a material has entered or left. This can be controlled through the objects triggers.
