Different process times

I don't know how to put the times in my processes. I have 13 types of products all with different times, some have constant times and others are distributions. What option can I use in the process time?

Hey, Paulina!

Are you trying to have one processor process 13 different types of products?

Or are the 13 products going through different processors?

Also, if you could upload a copy of the model you are trying to build, that would also be helpful.

Hello John-Michael!

The 13 products go through 3 processes but the times are different for each product in the 3 processes.

Thak you.

It appears that the Corte processor here is processing the items successfully.

It is pulling the process times from the global table "Corte" seen here

From what I see, this model seems to be correct and working as intended.

Is there something else in this model you are trying to change?

The problem is when I change the order of the products and first place the times in distributions, the results of using the processes is zero.

Try entering the properties of the processor,

then next to "Process Time" click the "edit parameters" button,

under "data type" change it from "number" to "automatic"
