odel 5-1: Simple Call Center
rrival-Cutoff Logic
Used to “choke off” arrival stream at 6pm
Create a single “logical” entity at time 600 min.
(6pm)
Overkill on making sure just one is created
– Time Between Arrivals = 999999 min., Max Arrivals = 1
Assign module to set Variable MaxCalls to 1
Recall use of MaxCalls for Max Arrivals in Create module
for attempted calls
Dispose of this single logical entity
Creative use of such
“logical” (a.k.a. “fake”)
entities enhances modeling
flexibility, power, detail
