Design distribution logistics and Completing orders using a global table

Hi, I’m having a difficulty connecting the global tables with the models. Underneath I have the description of the model and the model that I made so far. Thanks in advance.

Description of the model: • A small distributor has 10 types of products that usually deliver to the same 5 customers. • Each customer has a different order profile. • The distributor has a large inventory of each of 10 products, so only what to do is wait until the order arrives. • Products are packed on pallets and sent to the customer. • Use two global tables to build the logic in the model. • use the arrival schedule in the source object.

Kind Regards

Hi @Kostas L,

I recommend looking at the example model and description found in this post from awhile ago. It will be difficult to model what you're doing using a 3D combiner object, but with the right Process Flow setup, this can be handled relatively easily.
