Machine/Equipment Downtime

Hello,


I'd like to allocate some down time to multiple equipment/machine(s) so it does not operate at 100% availability. I'm hoping there is an opportunity to implement a downtime percentage from 100% to 80-85% availability. Also, the equipment/machine(s) should go down at random per each resource instead of having multiple resources go down at the same time.


Providing a brief FlexSim model example would be preferred so I can take a look at the logic used.


Product Version = 23.0.2


Thank you,

80-85% availability is depending on a static model run time. Known interrupts of time tables and blocking times. It is not a typical setup for parameters for this tool.

Please read in manual about MTBF/MTTR tool.

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.0/Reference/Tools/MtbfMttr/MtbfMttr.html

Apply down time to a set of states.

Apply down time to members individually.
