Oh, great thanks Gocken, you are always here for help. Unfortunately, I cannot open your file for format compatibility. I am using the 8 simio academic edition. What is your edition ? If you can just tell me what went wrong please. Slts.

Hello, I am working on a model that process jobs (dolls) on a single station. I have 3 types of job that could be processed by just 1 resource. Resources are flexible and may do the same job but each one has its own time to do the task. Jobs are processed based on their smallest processing time. So far, the attached model could select the smallest processing time and pick the right resource (based on the index on the table) but I could not find a way to physically seize the right resource. On the seize step, I just put the preferred one; which means, it will always seize Resource 1. Here, I am starting by deterministic processing times (known in advance) but targeting the stochastic ones later on (for example: Random.Uniform(1,4)), that is why the selection must be dynamic. For example, when I get the green doll, the model is able to process it in 4 min and pick the correspondent resource (resource 4 in this case as we can see on the attached status label) but physically, Resource 1 is doing the job. Any help folks. Thank you. MyModel_6_Version 3.spfx

What do you mean by storage element? Through my current model, I tried to just understand the issue and found out that Job 1 is the first one to be created and the first one to be transferred from Input@Server1 to Server 1 Input Buffer, which means, in that transfer fraction of seconds, Job 1 seizes Server 1 and starts processing it. Meanwhile, the remaining jobs are transferred to Server 1 Input Buffer based on their creation order and getting time to be sorted based on their processing time.

Yes, still process job 1 first which should be the last one. I am trying to find out an extra logic for that. Meanwhile, the contribution of all members will be much appreciated.

Thanks gocken for your reply. Unfortunately, I could not open your file due to format compatibility, even though I have the Simio 8 edition but academic one.

Hello, I am trying to rank (order) jobs based on their processing times. On the attached model, the server should process jobs as : Job4, Job3, Job2 then Job1 but that is not the case because Job1 is always the first to be processed and the remaining jobs are ranked as expected. Is there anyone who can explain to me why is that ? Thanks. MyNewModel.spfx
