Building a Model

ProModel gives you the flexibility to create a model in several ways—the easiest is to use the graphical point-and-click approach. To build a model, you should first define any locations in the system. With locations defined, you are ready to create entities (parts, customers, calls, etc.) and schedule their arrivals to the locations you created. Next, specify the process logic for entities at each location (this will establish the entity flow throughout the model). Finally, define any optional model elements such as attributes, variables, or arrays that you will use in processing entities.
