Modeling Rejects

Situation: A percentage of entities are rejected after an activity (due to defects or other criteria) and are removed from the system.

Example: At a final inspection station in a printed circuit (PC) board assembly line, ten percent of the time the board is defective and is removed from the system (i.e., 10% of the boards are simply scrapped). Otherwise the completed board goes on to packaging.

If you are new to Process Simulator, you will first want to view our "Process Simulator Lite" Tutorial, available here: http://www.promodel.com/services/training/PCS/LiteTutorial/8.2/LiteTutorial.html

The model used for this example, as well as all of the modeling "how-to" examples, can be found in the ProModel Solutions Café (http://www.promodel.com/solutionscafe/howto/).

This video is part of our Process Simulator "How To" series, and is designed to accompany instructions available in our Process Simulator Help system. For more information, click here: http://www.promodel.com/onlinehelp/processsimulator/82/Process_Simulator_Help... and click on "Modeling How-Tos"
