Default Supply Chain model

Dear All,

Happy New Year.

I am new to the Flexsim modeling. I would like to know about the "send msg" option and "on msg" option of Flexsim.

For example if the model is as follows

Source--> Queue --> Conveyor --> Rack --> Processor --> Sink.

Now I want the rack after getting some quantity of stock (say 100), should send a msg to queue to stop the supply until a minimum quantity of stock (say 50) is reached. The queue should react for the msg.

Something like this maybe what you need...

check the on message trigger on the queue and on the rack the on entry and on exit trigger

Hai,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried onentry trigger, but I didn't understand what to declare in place of "centre object(current,1)" and what is "tonum(item) and "port".
In the place of "true" I could write "content(current) == 100".
Now I think I am clear with my problem.
