Hello,
I'm completely new to Flexsim, so this might be a very simple solution.
For school we received an assignment to rebuild a factory and optimise it. One of the tasks is to assign an operator to a processor to change the set up times and a second one is to repair the processor when it breaks down.
The factory produces different batches of products on pallets and every time a new batch passes, the processor has a setup time which has to be changed by the operator. I set the the setup time function to ''If itemtype changes (values are set)'', but the setup time doesn't get triggered. I suspect the processor only sees the pallet as an itemtype and not the product on top of it. I also ticked ''Use operator for set up time''.
The other problem i have is the repair time. I added a MTBF MTTF for every processor and for the down function i chose ''Execute stopobject and call operator'' and for the resume function i chose do nothing. Now when i run the simulation i get a pop up which says: ''Bad pointer'' OP20(the processor) was given a coordinated task sequence but is not a Dispatcher, and after that i get a pop up which says: A coordinated task sequence could not be dispatcher. After that the simulation stops.
Does anyone know how to fix these two issues?
I work in Flexsim version 6.0.2.
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards
