How to mitigate bottleneck and evaluate using experimenter

[ FlexSim 24.0.0 ]

Greetings everyone,

Can anyone show me on my model which distributions and cycle time to use so that a bottleneck occurs and then i want to use experimenter to evaluate scenarious by adding number of machines

Can anyone show me which distributions or what cycle time should i put to create one bottleneck ? and then make use of experimenter

Please see my model attached, thank you

This will help me practice, so i need your help in setting the cycle time distribution of processors so the process can create a bottleneck and then i can practice use of experimenter

Thank you!

You already have a bottleneck since Queue 2 is full. If you set a warmup time at 10000s when the queue is full then you'll see that Processor 6 and 7 are blocked a lot of the time, also indicating a bottleneck at Processor 8.
