The model that I am working on has a varying demand. To simulate the varying demand, a pallet generator was made and as a pallet is generated, it is labeled with a number following the distribution function of the demand. It is then fed to the combiner together with the item. My problem is how to match the number of items that should be combined with the pallet label.
Attached is the model that I created.
You use a picklist option to update the component list by a global table. Unfortunately it is hard coded to use the label Type at the item to get the column of by the Type value. There are three easy variants:
(1) You can evaluate your label "demand" instead of "Type" in the source code of the Picklist Option.
(2) You can add a global table that has got only on column to update the component list. You change the column to look for update in the source code to column 1 (source code line 33 and 34). And you insert a code line to set the table cell value by the value of the demand label value (source code line 25)
(3) You can assign the label value directly (source code line 31 and 32)
