The table below shows the elements of the array points defined Eliminate Sources Based on Rule organized as a table.
Columns and rows represent the following.
Column |
Elements of one of the array points |
Row |
Business rule for a particular attribute name/value pair (yellow-shaded elements). |
0 = Ignored elements. In practice any value, or no value, can be assigned to an ignored array point element.

S. Array elements for the first row S (Spacing) rule keep count of the following:
At least three consecutive non-red items must be selected before another red item can be selected.
Two non-red items have been selected since the last red item was selected.
If the current item is
A. |
Not red |
The Spacing rule has not been broken. The item will be selected. The count will go to 3. |
B. |
Red |
The Spacing rule has been broken. The item will fail and will be either weighted or eliminated. The count will stay at 2. |
G. Array elements for the second row G (Grouping) rule provide the following:
Only two green items can be selected consecutively.
Two consecutive green items have been counted.
If the current item is
A. |
Not green |
The Spacing rule has not been broken. The item will be selected. The count will go to 0. |
B. |
Green |
The Spacing rule has been broken. The item will fail and will be either weighted or eliminated. The count will stay at 2. |
P. Array elements for the third row P (Percentage) rule provide the following:
The percent of selected two- door items must fall in the following range.
Maximum |
20% |
Minimum |
15% |
25 2-door items have been selected.
The percent of the Total Release Count, 134, is 19%.
The count is still within the bounds of the rules, but is close to breaking the maximum.
In this example, a warning alarm will be triggered to alert production.
Result based on the first three rules and values in this table:
The next item can be neither red nor green.
No more than 2 2-door cars can be selected before 4-door cars are selected.
The additional rules provide further filters for selecting items.
