In this phase

You will be introduced to Tasks, Tasksequences and Task Executors. In order to build Phase 2, you will need to start by having Post Office: Phase 1 pulled up in FlexSim.

Tasks and Tasksequences

  • Task
    • A single instruction or action to be performed by a TaskExecuter object (ex. LOAD flowitem)
  • Tasksequence
    • A series of tasks to be performed in sequence. (example tasksequence with tasks below)

Post Office: Phase 2

  • Purpose
    • Modify our model to increase visual appeal.
  • Description
    • Create visuals so that the "Customer" flowitem looks and behaves more like a person standing in line, IE is able to walk to each location we send them to.
  • Follow up
    • How can the use of labels and resources help us easily add additional service desks?
