The Basic Process Panel

This chapter describes the flowchart and data modules that you’ll use to model your

process. Additionally, this chapter includes example uses of each module.

Flowchart modules

Flowchart modules are the set of objects that are placed in the model window to describe

the simulation process.

Create module

ESCRIPTION

This module is intended as the starting point for entities in a simulation model. Entities are

created using a schedule or based on a time between arrivals. Entities then leave the

module to begin processing through the system. The entity type is specified in this module.

YPICAL

USES

 The start of a part’s production in a manufacturing line

 A document’s arrival (e.g., order, check, application) into a business process

 A customer’s arrival at a service process (e.g., retail store, restaurant, information

desk)

ROMPTS

Prompt Description

Name Unique module identifier displayed on the module shape.

Entity Type Name of the entity type to be generated.

Type Type of arrival stream to be generated. Types include Random (uses an

exponential distribution, user specifies mean), Schedule (uses an

exponential distribution, mean determined from the specified Schedule

module), Constant (user specifies constant value; e.g., 100), or

Expression (drop-down list of various distributions).

Value Determines the mean of the exponential distribution (if Random is used)

or the constant value (if Constant is used) for the time between arrivals.

Applies only when Type is Random or Constant.

Schedule Name Identifies the name of the schedule to be used. The schedule defines the

arrival pattern for entities arriving to the system. Applies only when

Type is Schedule.
