In this lab we will revisit the Simio model of the Subway® restaurant that was developed in Lab 2 and use Simio Add-On Processes to extend our original model to include customer balking. We will also discuss an alternative method using add-on processes to implement type-dependent processing times. The videos will guide you through:
- Understanding how Simio processes work
- Implementing the balking logic using add-on processes
- Implementing type-dependent processing times on the oven using add-on processes
- Using State Assignments to change object states
- Defining “Responses” for the performance metrics
