Other Constraints - Examples

Apart from Resources, you can use other features for constraining your simulation including Shifts, Activity Efficiency, Groups and many more. The following present applications of these features.

• Shift_Dependent_Resources.s8 Shows how to set the availability of Operators in the Morning and Afternoon Shifts of the day.
• Check_process_time_against_shift_time_before_loading_Items_to_Activity.s8 Shows how to use Visual logic to prevent Work items entering an Activity if the time left until the Activity is off-shift is shorter than the Activity’s operation time.

• Change_Over_with_Resource_Simul8_student.s8 Shows how to use a Resource for a Change-over task happening after every item is processed. This example is most applicable to the Simul8 Student version, if you are using the latest Professional version, you can use Multi-task Timing instead.

• Replication_Utilization.s8 This example presents approaches to calculating Activity Utilization Results

• Capacity.s8 This example shows how to constrain the number of Items that can be in a Queue at a time.
• Shelf_Life.s8 This example shows how to use Shelf Life and Expired Routing In.

• Scheduled_Maintenance.s8 This example shows how to incorporate Scheduled Maintenance in your simulation.
