I am trying to setup a simulation for a process flow of carts on a
factory floor and I want to make a simulation in Excel. What we do is have cards that represent carts and we move the carts from machine to machine according to the rules at each machine. This is all done with paper cards on a desk. What I am thinking is putting obejects on the screen of Excel, like command buttons or flow chart shapes, and then visually move them from 1 location (cell) to another as my VB code runs thru each increment of time and what is supposed to happen with each cart. This is where I am struggling. I would like to have the cart "object", what ever that is, have some additional properties. Something like this: Cart_1.movetime Cart_1.timeatmachine Cart_1.partcount etc. How and what would be the best "object" to use to be able to add properties to like above and then change them as the VB program walks thru a time range and moves the carts according to their individual parameters. I am not looking for someone elses program to do this, as I have seen them, I want to set it up to run the way I want it to work. I am pretty good with VBA so do hold back on a solution that would be great but complicated to create. I appreciate any help or direction you can give me. Thanks Scott |
