Production Plans module
D ESCRIPTION
The Production Plans module defines the parameters for production plans. These plans
may be referenced and implemented by machines via the Production and Changeovers
dialog box.
R EMARKS
If a machine is using a product plan, then the plan is executed as follows:
1. Incur the setup time.
2. Produce quantity of product name.
3. Go to next step in plan.
When all the steps of a plan are finished, the process automatically loops back to the first
step in the plan until the simulation run is complete.
During the setup time, the state of the equipment is set to Changeover.
Refer to the Production and Changeovers dialog box for more information on how a
machine implements a production plan.
Simulate module
D ESCRIPTION
The Simulate module defines advanced run options for a simulation experiment such as
units of measure, model limits, and statistics collection.
This is a required module.
R
EMARKS
In previous versions of this software, the Simulate module also defined project and run
parameters such as analyst name, project title, number of replications, and replication
length. That information is now defined in Arena’s Run > Setup tab.
The Module Array Size fixes the maximum number of devices you can place in a model.
This number may have to be increased for large models.
