Question about the calculation of the extrusions of item in the queue

Hi guys,

I would like to consult the way of calculation extrusion in queue. In my model, the warehouse4 would have an increasing extrusion with time pass. Thus, is there any way to calculate the inventory and give a fee on inventory level? or still build a time label and set a late penalty on it.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.4

queue queue time

123456-1.fsm (22.1 MiB)

For a warehouse you do it by evaluating a staytime. About any item you can read it’s Entry Time by getentrytime in a query clause for queryItems. For any other fixed resource object I would push entering items onto a list with a dynamic field of age. Then you can order your list pull result query by age ascending or descending to retrieve items.
