I am looking to simulate the flow of four different products within a warehouse environment. Each product first moves to a temporary waiting area before being processed by one of four dedicated inspection machines. After inspection, the products proceed to a scanning station and are then transported to one of four racks.
Products arrive randomly, averaging every 12 seconds, with inspection times varying, averaging 6 seconds. The scanning process is fixed at 4 seconds. The simulation will run for 50,000 seconds with a queue capacity of 10,000.
To start, I am using FlexSim to build the model. I will be setting up the layout, configuring the settings for key elements like queues, sources, and processors, and analysing the simulation output, paying attention to important metrics such as the “state” and “average content” of key objects to gain insights into the system’s performance.
Help me check whether my layout in the attached image is correct or not for the above task, or i am still missing any number of source, queue or operators? Is my placement of source, queue and the rest correct?
