Run a model with a given schedule

My model consists of 3 lines, i have demand per shift (ton/shift) shown in the attached excel sheet, that i need to simulate, each day consists of 3 shifts, each shift is 8 hours, i want to run this model for 60 shifts (continuously), and i need to make sure that each throughput (box) is in tonnes, so if the target of the first shift for the first line is 5 ton/shift, i'll find at the racks 5 boxes.

Please let us know if you can help :)

Your shifts consist of non integer numbers, so how do you want 1.5 and 7.98 tonnes represented in your model on the racks?

@Joshua S, can the model run for non integer numbers? if not, the current model approximates it, my top priority for now is to run the model continuously for 60 shifts

What I mean is your target is 1.5 or 7.98 tonnes, so what do you want to see in the Racks? By what you shared before, 1 box=1 tonne, so your throughput will only be whole numbers.
