Display PN Data on Sink

I want to see what the total process time was for each item hitting my sink, as there are a variety of different PNs with their respective differing process times. I also added some variation algorithms to the processors to create a more realistic actuals output for the process time. Any thoughts on how to see my total process time in my sink as a list of all the different PNs? Thanks!

Hey @bcallaghan, if you'd like to see total process time for all items that go to a sink, here's something you can try.

sink-total-processing.fsm

Add a label to each item that is their personal "ProcessTime". Add a label to the Sink that is "TotalProcessTime". Add an OnEntry trigger to your Sink that increments a label and increment your TotalProcessTime by the ProcessTime of each entering item.

To clarify: I want a data sheet that I can look at that gives the average / total process time of each individual PN (with varying quantities) displayed in a list format. I had assumed this would be in the sink to track that.

@bcallaghan, the sink doesn't keep track of that kind of information on its own. You'll have to keep track of it on the item as it travels through the system. Then you can write that information to a Global Table if you want and export it to an Excel Spreadsheet.
