Arrival of material
Assign attributes and entity picture
Send to table top resource (machine)
Provide route to machine & assembly
Arrival of material
Assign attributes and entity picture
Send to table leg resource (machine)
Provide route to machine & assembly

4. Create Module
Table top arrivals are set for Random(Expo) 20 minutes. As there are 4 legs to a table it makes sense for one leg to arrive Random(Expo) 5 minutes.
Could the values be changed to Random(Expo) 20 and have entities per arrival set to 4?
