Second, the Set module spreadsheet from the Basic Process template panel now includes the Machines resource set in addition to the Flow Times set. Figure 13.70 displays this spreadsheet (bottom) and the members of the Machines resource set (top). Lastly, the current model also includes a new Advanced Set module spreadsheet from the Advanced Process template. Figure 13.71 displays this spreadsheet and the members of its sets. Of course, running the gear manufacturing job shop model with sets produces identical results to those of its counterpart without sets. However, models with sets are more parsimonious in that they reduce the number of modules as evidenced by
