How to simulate multiple product line

Hai all, How to simulate this case

Processing time requirements are

Can you give some idea

@Mathan Kumar R,

I suggest you create two Global Tables that have the information you shared here. Because each part has a number associated with it, you can use those numbers to relate to the tables' rows. In the first table, you will put one process in each column, as shown below:

The second table will have all the times associated with each process:

Then, when you create items, you can assign them a "Part" label, which is associated to the rows in the tables, and a "Process" label, which is associated with the columns in the tables. When the items are created, you start them with a column value of 2, which correlates with Process1. At the end of each Process, you can increment and use the "Process" label to look up the column in the Global Table that contains the next process to which the item should be sent.

I tried to create a small example of this. I hope it helps!

@Mathan Kumar R,

That's a good question, and I would love to help, but I need a bit more information. Could you elaborate what you mean by "continuously"?

Do you want to update the table dynamically? If so, you could use Process Flow or other triggers to write to the tables dynamically. This means that if the process flow or cycle time for a specific item changes, you can update it during the simulation run.

Other than this example, I don't know ways that this can be more "continuous" than it already is by nature of its being a simulation. Please elaborate, then tag me so I can help. Thanks!

Please check the simulation model there is no influence of processing time . Example when we increase the processing time there is no any change in output [email protected]

You model runs to termination and the time taken to do that is dependant on the processing times. You only create 11 parts that I can see so the output quantity will not change.
