Conversions

For this modeling effort, we will add 2 conversions to the structure pane:

In the filling station, we convert pounds of peanut butter to jars of peanut butter. For simplicity, we are going to assume we are packaging 16 ounce jars. Thus making the conversion from pounds to jars -> 1 pound = 1 jar.

In the case packer, we convert jars into cases. Here we will assume 12 jars per case or a conversion factor of 1/12 = 0.08333.

Add the following information into the structure pane before the Links section:

[Conversions]

x1: Filling Conversion

x2: Case Conversion

Then, set up the structure for the conversion nodes, placing the Filling Conversion before the Filling Station and the Case Conversion before the Case Packer.
