Measure throughputtime between sink and processor

Hi everyone,

on my old model (attached) i measured the avrg throughput time between the source (getcreationtime) and sink (getentrytime). Now i need to measure the avrg time between the sink and processor1. I tried to point the processor1 on the sink, but i don't know how exactly to connect them. Down below that was my suggestion how to code it:

int throughput = getentrytime(item)-EntrySaturn.getentrytime(item);

Other solution approach is to get the entrytime in the processor1 directly and add the data in the table and then use excel to get the avrg time but that is more time spending and i don't want to switch between 2 Tools.

problem_throughputtime.fsm

Thanks for help!

Write the entry time of the Processor onto a label on the item. Then use that label to calculate the staytime when it enters the sink.

In general Statistics Collectors would be used to get data like this from the model.

To get the staytime between objects, you can just use the default composite staytime chart though.
