Stop working at a specific time

Hi everyone
I have made a TimeTable for the operator to work from 8:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday.
There is a machine that takes 1 h 30 min to process an item, so I want that, if it is 15:30 or later, the operator does not go to the machine, but does something else.
I can´t keep the operador from going to the machine.

Attach the model

Hi Oscar,

you could make the decision to call it or not based on the time of the day.

take a look at the class Datetime


https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.2/Reference/CodingInFlexSim/FlexScriptAPIReference/Data/DateTime.html

for instance:

DateTime.hour

will get you the hour of the day in the simulation

Thanks, but I have already observed that link and I still can´t get it.

If I put Model.datetime.hour<15 it does nothing

and if I put DateTime.hour<15 gives me an error.

Hello Oscar,

I believe it is just a matter of improper syntax (it is case sensitive...)

In the section I sent, there are several examples showing the correct use:

                     
  1. Model.dateTime.hour

This will return a double number and you can compare it to any other value you like.

That is the first thing that I tried before asking the question. I don´t know if I am doing something else wrong.

Even if I put that, he keeps going to the processor after the 3 pm.
