Where does that link to?!
In larger simulations, or simulations with many links it can be difficult to work out what is routing to what. This gets a lot harder when Storage Bins are involved as they do not have the same Routing In/Out information that Work Centers do.
So what do we do?
There is a feature specifically designed for this that some don’t realize is…
Use Mickey or Bart not both
If you read our recent newsletter you’ll know we think the visuals in your simulation are just as important as the numbers. A great tip…
