Hey, I want to ask how to setting trigger for combiner so when the item from source 1 is not yet in processor 5, the combiner not to process the tote, cause i want to find the lead time of those simulation. If the combiner release the item early, it will effect the process time isn't it?

@Ghizka The staytime of the combiner has different approach of calculation. You can use Tracked Variable to capture the staytime.

1. Capture the Model.time on exit from Processor5 in a label.

2. Use a tracked variable on the exit of the combiner, to capture the different between the label in previous point and the current time.

Under the statistics in the toolbox to add the tracked variable and pin the statistics to the dashboard.
