In this set of videos, ProModel experts demonstrate how to perform certain techniques involving model entities.
Imagine the conveyor as a path along which "resources" carry the entity. Learn how to stop along the path for loading purposes.
Learn how to accumulate a variable number of entities.
Move entities throughout your model based on their priority.
Examine how to both unload and group entities at the same location.
Explore how to begin a simulation with entities already in locations.
Control the flow of entities from one location to another using a variable and some operation logic.
Learn how to use alternating resources to load entities and move them to different locations.
Fix the problem of leftover entities.
Capture the same resource that an entity had previously used.
Learn how to model a situation where different sized entities require processing at a limited capacity location and the entity mix and sizes determine the location's capacity. We use a pizza oven scenario for the example model.
Open another location, if entities are backed up. We use a grocery store line model example.
Model a situation where a customer decides to exit the system, because their wait time is too long. We use a call center model for the example.
Unload entities at different locations, depending upon an attribute value assigned to the entity.
Higher priority entities can preempt lower priority entities out of a location. In this example we use an emergency room with severely injured patients.
Learn how you can disable an entity arrival record in the scenario manager.
Control the number of entities that are allowed into a location or are made up of multiple locations using a variable as a gate.
Calculate the total time a location or piece of equipment is being used to process entities.
