Error Move Equipment due to Patient Exit

I have built this model in FlexSim 19.1 Beta.

I am getting an error message when staff brings back transport equipment. This is caused by the patient reaching the exit earlier than the staff the destination of the equipment.

I tried to solve this by changing the assignment of transports and staff labels to the token instead of the person in the Bring Stretcher Back logic. However, this still gives the same error message.

Regards,

Abel

There are several different ways you could do this, for example:

  1. Use a Split and Join to keep the patient from leaving until the gurney is released. splitjoin.fsm
  2. Create an independent token in a General Flow. sendtogeneralflow.fsm
  3. Have an Event-triggered Source in a General Flow listen to the On Release event of transports. listentorelease.fsm
