Set interarrival time based on item type and percentage?

lucas_m2 — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 03:11:03 GMT

[ FlexSim 21.1.4 ]

model_test.fsmIn my model, I have items that must be created by percentage:

Item Type	%
1	42
2	7
3	7
4	7
5	37

Each type of item has a distinct distribution inter arrival time.

I tried to make similar to this answer: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/56535/can-i-use-a-single-source-to-set-interarrival-time.html

The model I tested is attached. Is correct?

Tks!

Is the result of your distinct interarrival time the distribution you have stated above? Or is there a conflict of two conditions that never can be fulfilled? Because if my first question leads to the right distribution then you have to insert 5 sources with the correct interarrival time and all will be ok.

Hello @Lucas Matheus,

Your requirement of types being created by percentage and with each type having a distinct arrival time is conflicting. Could you elaborate on what you are wanting with the arrival of the different types?
