how to find 1)makespan 2)total distance travelled

i have created a model with five processors,one source generating five jobs and one sink.I want to find the total processing time (i,e time since the first job enters the first processor and the last job leaves the last processor) and label it as makespan.I am also using task executors for moving so i want to calculate the total distance travelled by them.How to do this?

@Arindam Mahata One way you can find the total processing time is by using zones in process flow. Are you familiar with using process flow and/or zones?

In the FlexSim User Manual under Process Flow Tutorials, Tutorials 1.1-1.3 will teach you how to incorporate process flow into your models. It will also teach you how to use zones. Hopefully the tutorials will be able to show you how to find the total processing times. Let us know if you have any questions.

One way to find the total distance a task executor travels can be found by double clicking on the task executor and then opening the statistics window. I have attached an image below showing where the statistics window is located.
