We have added two new examples to the Simio installation. Please note these examples are meant to show specific concepts and include basic object animations. We will follow-up within the next sprint or two with more detailed documentation. They include:

SchedulingLaborEfficiencies – This example is like the SchedulingDiscretePartProduction example, in that it uses various tables to generate the objects within the Facility window. There are 5 employees (worker objects) that use different work schedules, as defined in table based repeating work schedules. The new resource efficiency properties are specified within Labor table, based on which resource is being used. The task sequences within the Servers indicate the worker list, resource efficiency and selection rule based on largest efficiency. The model also uses the ‘Switch Resources If Possible’ OffShift Rule for workers.

SchedulingParallelRouteController – This example is a modification of the SchedulingDiscretePartProduction example. It is intended to show an option for easily modeling parallel routing steps.The Routings table has been modified to include parallel production steps within the routings of FinishedGoodA and FinishedGoodB. A ‘route controller’ Server object and it’s referenced process titled ‘PopulateImmediateSuccessorSequences’ are used to generate entities for the various parallel process steps.

For example, in the below routing, the Sequence Number is used in the process logic to determine the parallel activities within the routing – Cut and Weld (10.1 and 10.2) operations are done in parallel before Finish (20) and then Ship (40). The Entity Workflow Gantt shown below shows the resources and sequence for the order, as they are processed.
