Objects arriving into the process are depicted in the Simulation by an Icon and have attributes associated to them which enable cost and revenue calculations to be made. There are two Arrival Types to choose from: Arrival profiles or Inter arrival time. When the arrival type has been established, click Apply to display the appropriate arrival tab.

When defining an IDEF3 Object the following Simulation properties apply:

Type of Object that is generated.

Represent what the Object will become.

When the Object will introduced into the process.

Individual time profiles that require the quantity and duration values to be set for arriving objects.

Objects can arrive at regular time intervals.

How must the Object will cost when generated.

Enter the fixed cost for the object.

Enter the cost when object arrives.

Enter the cost that you want to reach.

Enter the cost the outside revenue.

Enter the cost of defective revenue.
