Well ... zone picking might be an abstract variant of the supermarket model: http://www.flexsim.com/community/for...do=file&id=240

Hi friend,

maybe you tell us what you want to model. It seems like there is no official sample model, so you will have to start your own. But without additional information, it will be pretty hard to help you!

Best, Jens

Hello Manoj,

if you still work on the project to pull items from a rack you can define which item is moved by which operator. In the function "use transport" of the rack you have a reference to the item which will be delivered. With this information, you can find the current bay of the item and so you can decide which operator should get the tasksequence if you return its reference as a number.
Look at the command : rackgetbayofitem(obj rack, obj item);

Hi Jorg,
I am done with the previous project.This is the new one, In the above attached model how can we notify the global table that picking for the row is executed. I am trying to adding a extra column to global table and notify against the row on entry into the queue, but does not know where to write the code.
