If you are counting the stock in say a Rack object, then you can call the content(rackName) command to return the number of items in that rack. You could then use this in an if statement or decision point. If the content of the rack is below a certain level, then send items to a certain processor. Or set up the logic so that the Process will pull items as long as the inventory content is at a certain level. Is this along the lines of what you're looking for?</P> Wed, 19 Apr 2017 13:29:44 GMT sam_stubbsYXX86 2017-04-19T13:29:44Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/flexsim-forum/how-to-create-a-base-stock-model/m-p/13509028#M22456 <P><I>[ FlexSim 16.0.9 ]</I></P><P>Hi everyone,</P> <P>I am trying to model a base stock policy in Flexsim 2016.
