Hello Irina,
I would like to give some answers to your questions:
- At the moment we plan to change this behavior so that the Supplier will deliver the products as soon as the restocking time is up.
- The lot size is the lowest number of products produced. If you want to realize a one piece flow production, you can define the lot size as 1. You also can define the lot size and/or the transfer size for each processing object individually. This is not dependent on the customer orders.
- It is not necessary to connect all processing objects with the PPS. But the processing object needs to know what to produce. This can be achieved by the PPS, as you have done in your simulation model, or by FIFO/Transfer lines, or by KANBAN control, or by the schedule box.
- The disposition is done by the PPS and takes the current stock and the current demand of the first inventory/Supermarket and the first processing object into account. Cyclic delivery delivers the product as you defined.
- The supplier always delivers the products in packaging size as for example a sceleton container. the packaging size may be 100 products. In your definition for cyclic delivery you may order 250 products which will lead to 3 sceleton container with a total of 300 products.
You are using a very old version of the VSM library so we recommend to update your model with the latest version 1.0.17 of the library.
