Phase 3: Additional Operations

In the final phase of our modeling session we want to demonstrate an assembly operation by using the operator to install a Bearing into the center hole of the Cog if (and only if) the Cog passes inspection.

Once we have defined the attribute and distribution table, we must return to the Locations, Entities and Arrivals modules to define a new location called Bearing_Que, a new entity called Bearing, and an arrival schedule for the Bearings.

In addition, we also need to specify a usage based downtime for mills NC_301L and NC_302L from the Location module.

The final step in completing this phase of the model is to edit the processing logic to include the assembly. We will use the built-in JOIN construct to accomplish the assembly.
