Average throughput time for p

hello. im quite new to this software. Im having trouble to understand on how you find the difference between Entry time of the item and creation time of item, then use global table to write those throughput time for each flow item. Is it possible for you to give a clearer instruction ? and if it is possible, can you help me with how can i get the average agv utilisation. thank you in advance.

Here's the simulation im working on

line F simulation 2.fsm

1) Creation Time is created at 'Source' object. Creation Time is same with EntryTime into Queue in general in the case of next object's Queue.

2) Entry Time is the entered time into the object in general. In the sample model, between Source and Queue, The creation time from Source and entry time into the Queue are same.

I attached the example model of it. You can find them in Source1 and Queue1 trigger. I recorded each times in Flow-Item separately.

3) You can record the log times of all items in Global Table each cell using your custom code. Or you can record using dashboard statistics feature.

4) You can display AGV utilization also in dashboard using dashboard utility features.

I recommend you to exercise the help tutorials about 3) and 4) topics.

And you can find also the times log topics in Help Tutorials.
