Why yellow frame appears around the processor?

Hi:

I am doing the drill in the primer book of simulation by Allen Greenwood. When I run the program it sometimes showed a framework around the processor as shown below?

The framework will disappear very soon. May I know why? Does it mean the process breakdown? But I did not set the breakdown in the processor.

Here is my Flexsim program.

Primer_2-2C.fsm

FlexSim 22.0.1

It marks a processor being stopped. By Timetable, waiting for assistance for setup or processing and so on.

And in this case it's because the processors have the option to use the operator for setup selected. If you click on the processor while this is displayed you'll see the state is "waiting for operator".

OK. But my further question is why it occasionally happens, not regularly. What mechanism makes it happen? For example, the next object is processed without waiting for the processor.

A processor gets stopped, makes it happen. A call to stop a processor is done by
  • a timetable if you choose
  • call an operator to repair
  • a breakdown
  • request assistance of operator for setup and processing

you see it maybe as a nuisance, but it is an old feature to express an unavailable processor.

Can this frame behaviour be manipulated? Can I for example change the colour of the frame, and if so how?
