Job Shop model

This tutorial will show you how to create discrete event models using AnyLogic Proces Modeling Library. Our goal is to create a discrete-event model that will simulate a small job shop’s manufacturing and shipping processes. The raw materials that are delivered to the receiving dock are placed into storage until processing takes place at the CNC machine.

The tutorial is taken from the book "AnyLogic 7 in Three Days" by Ilya Grigoryev.

Short summary of the tutorial

Phase 1. Creating a simple model to simulate the pallets’ arrival at the job shop and their storage at the shipping dock.

Phase 2. Expanding the model by adding forklift trucks to store the pallets in the pallet rack and then move them to the production area.
Phase 3. Adding 3D animation.
Phase 4. Adding trucks that deliver pallets to the job shop.
Phase 5. Modeling CNC machines where the raw materials are processed.
