How can i get the ratio {total used time}/ {total shift time}

Hello !

I am trying to model an operating room with 8 ORs. Each OR has a timetable describing their breaks.

I would like to compute the following ratio : {total time during which the ORs are used}/ {total time during which the ORs are on shift}. This KPI should be in the performance table so I can get it in the experimenter. It should be for all the ORs at the same time.

For {total time during which the ORs are used}, I saw that 2016 post: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/22200/how-can-i-capture-the-total-staytime-of-all-the-to.html Is there another/easier way to do it in the newer versions ?

For {total time during which the ORs are on shift}, I could potentially compute the sum of all the break durations of my ORs and substract it to the total running time. However, I do not know how to do that in Flexsim.

Finaly, once I have the two values, how do I compute their ratio ?

Thanks in advance,

Leah

Hi @Leah R,

It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.
