This is a fundamental design decision that should be addressed at the beginning of the project. It will dictate how your simulation is configured, how data is fed into it, and how results are collected and interpreted. It may even alter how you look at a process.

Create an Interruptible Work Center

Prerequisites:

This discussion assumes that you already have a basic understanding of how to set and use labels. For more complete information on these topics, see our book Learning SIMUL8: The Complete Guide, or ask about our training programs.
