Goals of this session
In this lesson we will introduce resources to the simulation. Resources can be used to determine bottlenecks in the real-life resource allocation.
Model 13 simulates the management's work day. It starts on work days at 8 p.m., works for 8 hours and ends. As you can see, the activity Work uses a Participant, and the assigned role has to be a Boss.
