Chapter 10 Simulating a Business Process Model
Links between SIMUL8 objects are not objects but only symbols.
SIMUL8 objects are linked via the Routing in and Routing out properties of the work center.
Work items that come from the work entry point may be lost, when the next work center is busy (being processing other work items, or waiting for resources).
When a work item is lost, the simulation is suspended and a warning message is displayed (work entry point option that can be disabled)
A single queue to each route object is added in order to get the simulation results of each queue separately.
On the output of a work entry point connected to a work center there is always a queue, in order to avoid loosing work items during simulation.
On the input of a work exit point connected to a work center there is no queue, it only accepts work pushed to it, otherwise work items would be blocked in the queue.
