• Process Name: When naming your Source, be careful to give it a name that will make it easy to find in reports.

• Quantity: Number of resources available from this source. Select Infinite if there is an endless amount.

• Output Rate: Number of resources the source supplies in the selected unit of time. If the rate can vary, enter the acceptable range of the output.

If an item is sending material to many targets, the Output Routing parameters are used.

Example: Items that come out of an assembly process, might be stored in one of numerous containers awaiting shipment. The materials are routed based on the possibilities available.

Choose the preferred Output Routing type from the drop-down menu:

• Fixed Priority: The first target that was defined is given priority.

• Shortest Queue: Select the target with the shortest queue.

• Longest Queue: Select the target with the longest queue.

• Round-Robin: Regardless of queue length, rotate targets in sequence.

• Automatic re-routing: Automatically re-route remaining items in case selected output is at capacity
