The simluation must determine that it is not the weekend in order to simluate employees arriving for work. If Sunday is Day 1, Monday Day 2, Wednesday Day 3....etc (up to Saturday Day 7) the following Decide module could be used to determine if the factory should open for business.

The simluation must determine that it is not the weekend in order to simulate employees arriving for work. Using the built-in Arena variable TNOW (the current time) and the built-in Arena function CalDayOfWeek( ... ) we can determine if the day is Sunday = 1, Monday = 2, etc (up to Saturday Day 7) the following Decide module could be used to determine if the factory should open for business.

N-way by Chance

This type of Decide module is an extension of the 2-way by Chance Decide module. This type of Decide module will route entities any number of ways specified by the user and according to a given percentage. The percentage is specifed by the user and relates to the proprotion of entities that are routed to that particular exit point.
