Request Staytime of Acquire Resource

Hi, I have attached a model for the question that I am about asked.

In the model, I found that number of data points collected for Request Staytime Vs Time does not tally with the number of token that has passed through the process. The data points is less than 300 but I have 700 plus passed through the process.

Is there anything wrong? Please advise

David

request-staytime.fsm

acquire-resource.csv

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.0.2

processflow acquire resource request staytime

request-staytime.fsm (42.1 KiB)

acquire-resource.csv (11.0 KiB)

A data point is only added if the token has to wait to acquire the resource. If the token is able to immediately acquire something it has no staytime and so doesn't add a data point.

@Matthew Gillespie

Thanks for your information.

However I do see some zero in the CSV file, why are these accounted for? Please advise

Thanks

Regards

David

There can be cases where the Resource was not available when the token requested it, but in zero time, the resource becomes available. These will create a zero-time record.
