sequence of processing

Here is your question from your comment. Please make sure you follow out best practice and start new questions with a new post even if it is for the same model.

This latest version of my model now resembles the real process, but I'm unsure how to tie things together. Flowitems need to originate in WorkCenter85A and follow this path: 85A -> 89Q -> 899 -> 85V -> 85A -> 85V -> NHA.

Using the FlowLogic, how do I move them from one WorkCenter to another?
How can I do this in batches? For example, I might not want to move flowitems from OutRack85A to InRack89Q until there are 10 flowitems in the outrack.
When the flowitems return to 85A and 85V for the second time, their processing times need to be different than the processing times the first time around. I am trying to accomplish this using multiprocessors and a "TestType" label which will tell the multiprocessor which process to run, but I'm not sure where/how to assign the label to the flowitems.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.2

flexsim 20.1.2 production sequence

Hello @Nicholas D2,

I created a flow logic that directs the boxes through the different push to list activities. The Process Flow When each item arrives in an out queue a wait for event checks and matches the item with the token, so the correct item is directed to the next activity. The tokens are then batched to the specified quantity. before moved to the next in queue. Once they are moved the item is pushed to the list for processing. Once it is pulled from the list it moves to the next set activities for the next workspace.

I assigned a label called ProcessingRound to keep track of when the boxes are on their second time through the processes 85A and 85V. Then I created a conditional decide for the process time.

If you are only using the multiprocessor so you can have different processing times, that is unnecessary. I included a processor above work center 85A with the conditional decide to designate processing times depending on the label set.
