How to create pie chart in process flow?

I made a simple model of a factory in process flow , 10 people will be generated with two objects each from a single source and moves the objects on to a packing conveyor and they will walk to the end of conveyor to pick up the packed objects and they will move to storage area and drops an object there and travels to exit area.

How to track the movement of each person and represent their time of waiting in each task (i.e., %of waiting time at starting of conveyor and ending of conveyor and at storage room) in a pie chart.

I need to generate 10 pie charts for 10 persons about their time behaviour in each area.

The easiest way to do this is to have the items you want state information about exist at model start. I have updated your model to represent that. However, your model has issues that will create some issues for you. You don't have the people wait at the end of the conveyor, you just move the item back to the person. I would change your move objects to load and unloads.

You can double click on the state chart in the dashboard to see the possible states, and adjust your model accordingly.

Hopefully this gives you enough to finish this on your own.

Hi @Akhil raja rao K,

The statistics that you're looking for can be achieved using default state templates on a dashboard. However, the people in your original model are actually Flow Items, so default statistics for Operators and other Task Executers are not going to apply. That's why Braydn created the version of the model with the Operators instead of person flow items. The person Flow Items don't exist at the beginning of the model, so FlexSim can't track statistics on them very easily, but since you have a set number of people (10), you can have the Operators exist at the beginning and use them for the default statistics.

In summary, Flow Items don't currently work very well to track statistics. Braydn's use of Operators will allow you to get the statistics you need, but it will require some adjustments in logic. Does that makes sense? Can we help you implement the new logic?
