I’m working on a digital model for a warehouse that manages four different products. Each product starts by waiting in a temporary area before being processed by one of four inspection machines. Once inspected, the products move to a scanning station, and finally, they are placed on one of four racks. The products arrive at the warehouse approximately every 12 seconds, and each inspection machine takes about 6 seconds to process an item, following an exponential distribution. The scanning process is set to a fixed duration of 4 seconds. The simulation will run for a total of 50,000 seconds, and the queue can hold up to 10,000 items. I’d love to build a digital model of this entire process in FlexSim and analyze the results. It would be great if you could help me outline the workflow and layout of the model. If possible, please include screenshots of the settings for each object, like the Queue, Source, and Processors. I’m also looking for output data that shows the “state/average content” for any key objects you think are important. Could you provide me with a step-by-step guide on how many sources, queues, and operators to place, along with instructions on how to link them all up to ensure everything functions smoothly in FlexSim? Thanks!
