Logistics eCommerce model: Model modularity
Let's take the example of the e-Commerce model used before, where we have three main groups of processes:
- Managing requests
- Packaging
- Shipping & delivery
To ensure the model is modular and processes can be easily added and removed, processes have been defined in separate functions and generators:
def process_1_manage_requests():
def process_2_packaging():
def process_3_shipping_delivery():
Once these process generators have been defined, the generator def generator_all_processes(env)
has been created to (1) call each of the individual process generators and (2) clock in their duration in chronological order.
