Shane Sullivan Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I am evaluating this software to determine if it would help with our current scheduling woes. The engineering group is where I am starting the modeling process. I have attached a document that lays out the problem and some of the constraints that exist. Would you be better off to model individual engineers as individual servers or as individual resources with one engineering server? Is my modeling need too complicated? I am quite new to this software but I can see the upside to the methodology employed by the software and the potential to model our complete manufacturing facility. Engineering Process Statement2.pdf
willem Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Hi Shane, With the process you described it is very possible, I would suggest the engineers as servers and the orders as entities. The scale of your project might however not justify the means, Simio is more than capable, however I would not purchase it just for this application (if you already have it it would be a great project). Regards, Willem
Shane Sullivan Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 I have made my first attempt at modeling this scenario but would like to have a status label on the resources showing what they are currently processing. Is this even possible? engineering test3.spfx
