Sankey diagram

The Sankey diagram visualises the flow of material units and workers.

 

Enhance your simulation model

Task:

Visualise the movment of your workers in the manufacturing frame.

 

Step-by-Step:

  1. Drag and drop a "SankeyDiagram" from the class library to your main frame.
  2. Right-click on the object and select the menu entry "Open Table of Watched MUs".
  3. Input the path names or drag and drop the follwing class elements to the rows of the table (see figure 1):
    • .Resources.Worker
    • .Resources.Manufacturer
    • .Resources.Assembler



    Figure 1: Watched MUs

  4. Run the simulation for a while. Pause it.
  5. Right-click on the "SankeyDiagram" and select the menu entry "Display Sankey Diagram".
  6. Open the frame "Manufacturing" to investigte the results (see figure 2).
