How create a change time tool between each of my item in my existing model ?

Hello, In fact I already have a function in my setup time which returns to a global table but I don't know if I can put 2, a "use global table" function and an "if item label value change" function.

test1-fm (4).fsm

FlexSim 21.2.2
setup timetool
test1-fm-4.fsm (137.2 KiB)

Hello Rémi,

You can use the If Item's Label Value Changes pickoption, and in the field If Item's Label Changed you add a statement to read in a Global Table.

In the attached example 2021-10-22 Changeover time.fsm , I randomly create 3 product types and the change over times are:

The setup time is defined as follows:

In the State Gantt chart, you can check that there is a setup time every time the product type changes:

Hope this helps.

Ok I understand for this part, but now how can I assign a setup time to each item?

I think I misunderstood your question. Do you mean that you want to be able to define 3 steps as below:

  1. a changeover time (only if the product type changes)
  2. then a setup time (for each item)
  3. and a process time (for each item)
