Hello,
I would like to associate a Time table to a Staff 3D object or to a Location 3D object in order to simulate the work shift in normal Flexsim 18.2.3.
However, I have noticed that token can acquire staff objects also if such an object is "down".
My question is, what is the formal way to associate a shift schedule in Flexsim
In attachment you can find a model with waiting line for a service where users can interact with a secretary. However they are two secretaries each one with a different turn.
I tried to associate directly the staff to the time table. But there are two problems.
1) First, when the object is down, it can be acquired by a user and he will wait for the Secretary unit his next turn arrives.
2) Second, when a the down event fires, the staff will suddenly suspends his activity, and I would like that he finish his current task and then go down.
I have tried to modify the Down Function of the time table in order to assign a label to the object and removing the stopobject function. Then in the acquire staff activity, I look for every secretary and check for the value of such a variable, and depending on it I will return the object to be acquired. However, this seems to be not scalable.
