FLOWCHART MODULES
Flowchart modules are the set of objects that are placed in the model window to describe the simulation process.

Create module
DESCRIPTION
This module is intended as the starting point for entities in a simulation model. Entities arecreated using a schedule or based on a time between arrivals. Entities then leave themodule to begin processing through the system. The entity type is specified in thismodule.
TYPICAL USES The start of a part’s production in a manufacturing line A document’s arrival (e.g., order, check, application) into a business process A customer’s arrival at a service process (e.g., retail store, restaurant, information desk)

Dispose module
DESCRIPTION
This module is intended as the ending point for entities in a simulation model. Entity statistics may be recorded before the entity is disposed.
TYPICAL USES Parts leaving the modeled facility The termination of a business process Customers departing the store

Process module
DESCRIPTION
This module is intended as the main processing method in the simulation. Options
For seizing and releasing resource constraints are available. Additionally, there is the option to use a “submodel” and specify hierarchical user-defined logic. The process time is allocated to the entity and may be considered to be value added, non-value added, transfer, wait, or other. The associated cost will be added to the appropriate category.
TYPICAL USES Machining a part Reviewing a document for completeness Fulfilling orders Serving a customer

Decide module
DESCRIPTION
This module allows for decision-making processes in the system. It includes options to make decisions based on one or more conditions (e.g., if entity type is Gold Card) or based on one or more probabilities (e.g., 75%, true; 25%, false). Conditions can be based on attribute values (e.g., Priority), variable values (e.g., Number Denied), the entity type, or an
