This model demonstrates a picking operation in a supermarket. Shoppers enter the model with a randomly generated shopping list. A task sequence is created for them as they enter the model to travel and pick up all their groceries from appropriate shelves. Some shoppers are sent to the deli where they choose their meat and have it sliced by the worker. When they are done shopping they receive a task to travel to the shortest checkout line to pay for their groceries.
This upgraded model no longer takes long to open and allows the user to interact with the model. Play around with the number of cache registers that are open at a time and see how it effects the flow of shoppers.
This is a Flexsim v5.0 model with all media contained within the same directory as the model; and can therefore, be saved to any directory on your computer.
