Resource Moves With Work Item
Hi community,
I am completly stuck on below subject, to clarify I have a model where the resource (a big trolley) needs to move with the work item between WC's.
WC 1 replicated x 17 goes to either WC 2 og 3 (no replicate), hereafter it goes to WC 4 (replicated x 17). This area is also group-constrained to a max capacity of 17 WI in total.
WC 4 goes to WC 5 (replicated x 30) which goes to WC 6 (replicated x 30). This area is also contrained to a max of 30 in this group at a time.
The trolley is used between:
WC1 and WC 2/3
WC 2/3 to WC4
WC 4 to WC5
WC5 to WC6
Both areas is using the same resouce (big trolley which there is only 1 of, but the transporttime for this trolley is very fast compared to the CT. The traveltime is 1002 meters per hour.
I have tried inserting dummies between the WC's with the resources and details described
dummy origins = required here, but do not release
dummy destinations = only release the resource here
Hence, with no luck.
Anyone who can assist? I am currently using the educational license.

what exactly is not working? I assign a resource to a workitem and then it moves with that item until released at some later point. Another way to to create a queue with workitems that represent the number of resources that you need. At the workcenter where you need the "resource", collect a workitem from you regular queue and then from this "resource" queue with the assemble option. At some point there you want to release the resource, you can just "add" a workitem back to the "resource" queue.
