Looking for a specific plot

Hey there,


Is any plot i can use to know the time an object takes to go from a queue to a sink?

I can't find it on dashboard, i've used a stay time but it doesn't give me the time the object takes to go from there to the sink.


Thanks, Miguel Pereira.

The "Composite Staytime" and "Staytime by Type" charts allow you do define separate entry and exit objects. They measure the time between an object entering one of the "Entrance Objects" and entering one of the "Exit Objects".

They can be used both in the 3D model to track flowitems or with process flow tokens.

Here's the example in the 21.1 version.

compositestaytimeexample_21_1.fsm

I used the histrogram charts to show the distribution of times. The default bar graph only shows the average time.

Check my dashboard...

An error appears when i try to do that.

10AGV.fsm

In the 1st one it just measures the time bags stay in those queue that are on the group "ChegadaBags".

The 2nd one i'm trying to know the time from the moment they enter those queues until the moment they exit by the sink. but it returns me an error.


"FlexScript exception: Property "value" accessed on invalid node. at MODEL:/Tools/ChartTemplates/Staytime By Type Histogram>stats/statisticsCollector/StatisticsCollector>variables/eventReferences/Core - On Row Finished/rowValue"

You can evaluate the data in process flow by a difference of exit to entry time of your items. You store the result in a table and plot the table data.

The thing is, the items entry in the process flow, then they get transported to a queue. And i just want to save the time, from this queue until the items reach the sink.
