Hi Flexsim users,
I created a manufacturing process model and I would like to record label history in gantt chart form, can anyone point me the right direction?
To be specific, a product needs to go through a total of 6 processes, I would like to record how much time this product went through each process.
Thank you in advance
What you're looking for are Tracked Variables. Tracked variables can be stored on labels on items or objects. When you set the value of that label, the tracked variable's value will be changed, and if it's recording history, then it will store off the time it was changed and the new value.
To chart a gantt chart, it takes a little more than just a tracked variable. The data required is a Row ID, Start Time, End Time and Value. I've attached a sample model showing a system where flowitems go through a series of check points or phases. The time is recorded as each item passes a phase and then it's charted in the dashboard.
The black Decision Points have logic on them to increment the item's phase. The Process Flow is used to track when the item's phases change. And the GanttCollector Statistics Collector creates the data that will be charted.
Hopefully this helps!
