processor

I am trying to make a mechanical component manufacturing plant model. In short part of the model from source1 one unfinished product is coming and reaching to processor1 and at the same time from other source2 a batch of 5 bolts is reaching to processor1 which I want to put on that product coming from source1.so total input in processor 1 is 6 as I will put all those 5 bolt on that product it will become one product and another operation will process on next processor. I am getting a problem every time processor1 is showing output as 6 instead of one. Is it possible to solve this issue by using labels? Other small query in my model is that if I give proper set up time and process time to combiner is it right that combiner can also process my product like processor do or I have to use processor after combiner to do operation. ?

@LauraV

Did you use combiner instead of processor?

If five bolts are assembled to the product from source1, you should combiner instead of processor.

@david.seo. yes combiner is an option but i am confused with after combine those 6 items do i need to use processor also to process them or combiner also can work as processor if i give set up and process time.

@LauraV

Combiner will also have processing time & Setup time tabs

@LauraV

The combiner is the processor with combining. You can set up the setup-time and process time at same time and also set the operator in the processtimes tab like the processor object.
