Aid another worker on idle


Recommended Posts

Hi!


I'd like to update a previous problem I've had in this topic -> http://www.simio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2079


The problem is basicaly the same. The provided solution was to create an entity and have it seize the worker, so that he'd go to another place and do something.


However, now I face a situation in which the worker on idle has to help another worker that is being seized by an entity in a server, in order for the process time to decrease. So now the possibility of creating an entity and have it seize the worker cannot be used.


Any help?

In the attached model I have the first worker working at server1 for 5 minutes, then idle.

The second worker starts working at server2 at time 1, but immediately also requests help from the first worker. As soon as he gets that help the remainder of the job goes twice as fast.


This was implemented using model states for expediency, but if I did it "for real" I would probably imbed the logic in a custom server.IncrementalWorkerAllocation.spfx
