simulation of task allocation in Enterprise Dynamics

[NinaK]

Dear Sirs,

I am new to simulations and need your valuable help.

I am going to simulate a task allocation in Enterprise Dynamics.
I have 3 types of tasks (depending on difficulty) and these tasks are sent to 3 types of employees (for example, beginner, experienced and expert). So tasks are coming from 3 sources, then going to Queue and then allocated to Servers - Employees.
I don;t know how to write a 4D script that cycletime of a server (employee) varies according to a type of a task. I tried with "if" , but it doesn't work.
Please, help me...

Regards,
Nina

Hi Nina,

Yes, the cycle time of a server can be modified using 4Dscript. An example of this is as follows. Let's say there is an attribute [TaskType] stamped on each part coming out of the 3 sources, and its value ranges from 1 to 3, which indicates a level of difficulty. In the cycletime field of the server, you would type:

If(Att([TaskType],first(c)) = 1,
30, {Easy task}
If(Att([TaskType],first(c)) = 2,
45, {Moderate task}
If(Att([TaskType],first(c)) = 3,
60 {Difficult task}
)
)
)

Good luck!
