- [Instructor] In chapter five, we extended our simulation to allow for rework loops where a customer spends more than the expected time at a station. In this chapter, we will simulate a related scenario where a customer has a probability of moving to either station two or station three after they're done with station one. In both cases, the next station will be station four. So in this chapter, we will record probabilities of moving to one station or another. Now of course, you can extend those techniques to more branches in the process, but we'll keep it simple just for demonstration and do one. You could also add rework loops or other elements, but when you're adding multiple elements to a simulation, you need to make sure that each improvement works before you move on. Get a little bit working, make a backup copy of your workbook, and go on from there.
