Chapter 10 Simulating a Business Process Model
The resource flow does not have any SIMUL8 specific properties because there is no link object and symbol between a work center and a resource. However the resource flow link supports the resource simulation properties of the process.
From the Simulation tab of the resource flow property sheet, you can display the following SIMUL8 extended attributes:
Name |
Extended attribute | Value |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
Resource max number | ResourceMaxNumber | True | Maximum number of this type of resource required at the process. Change this from the same value as "Min" if the process can work faster if it can get more of this resource. Each additional resource found will reduce the time taken to complete the job |
Resource min number | ResourceMinNumber | 1 | Minimum number of this type of resource required at the process. Change this from 1 if you need more than one unit of this resource to do tasks at this process |
Resource require | ResourceRequire | Require Release
Release Only Display Only Require Only |
If "Require": the resource must be available for the process to work. If "Release": the resource is released by the work item as soon as the task is complete |
For more information on how to display the resource flow property sheet, see section Resource flow properties in chapter Building a Business Process Model.
