Hi Team,
In my model, I have "sink" after "combiner". While checking statistics, I observed a small blockage of 1.2% which is incorrect conceptually.
When I deep down into it, I found that when combiner is holding a item and it is in breakdown, this state is considered as "blocked". Ideally, it should be considered as "breakdown" only.
Is there any quick fix to this issue?
Thank you!
A combiner can get into a breakdown, while he is in a state of collecting items. This is not equal to a state of processing. And which item do you analyze? Is it your container item, or are they items of going to be packed, joined or batched?
It is a good practice to attach a model!
Sorry, it's a big model size. I need to create a smaller one to pinpoint the issue.
Normally, we don't analyse the item level. TIS% chart shows the time in state for objects used in building the model.
If the "blocked" state is 0% means there is no obstruction from downstream for the object. Same is expected if object is connected to the sink.
Is there anyway to change it accordingly?
Thank you!

I could not replicate this in a quick test model. The combiner always correctly enters the "breakdown" state.
So as Jörg stated, we'd need a model where this occurs to investigate further.
