PROCESS FLOW MODULE IN FLEXSIM A simulation project generally involves large, complex problems. Obviously, for ease in operation, these problems must be broken down into sets of smaller problems. The Process Flow module in FlexSim has many tools and features that help achieve this. The module also helps break up large simulation models into small, manageable pieces and is more suited to capture workflow sequences in a simulation model. Therefore, the Process Flow module is very efficient in simulating different scenarios, enabling the user to visualize many scenarios.
COLLECTION OF RESOURCE UTILIZATION STATISTICS In comparison to the 3D model in FlexSim, the importance of the Process Flow module is that the latter ensures ease in operations, especially with complex projects. The Process Flow module, although efficient, does have a problem in collecting resource utilization statistics. This collection, however, can be done easily if using the 3D model. In the 3D model, you can drag and drop the state bar charts to collect resource utilization statistics. However, since there are no charts in the process flow module’s dashboard library, there is no direct way to extract this data. Page
