Hello boys. Is there any way to represent depreciation or amortization in a financial analysis or that would have to be configured in a "Global Table"? I appreciate your ideas.
Depreciation or amortization in a financial analysis
FlexSim 18.1.2
Are you wanting to have your processors and other machines depreciate and draw statistics from that?
I'm not familiar with anything in FlexSim that is built to model this outright, but if you did want to slow down or replace a machine over time, you could formulate a table in Excel and import it, then have your resource listen to the list.
Answering your question, it is correct. It's what I'm looking for, if in the financial analysis I can add that part or a special section for amortization or depreciation. Do you think that by modifying the code as it is built, it can achieve it? Also I do not know how to find the code of that dashboard, how can I find it?
I'm not familiar with the code in the experimenter, but I can recommend you export your simulation data into Excel and run financial analyses on it through Excel as there are more built in financial functions in Excel. For example, if you sell products that come from one processor, you can get the throughput on that processor and assign monetary values to it, etc.
Hopefully, @jordan.johnson can help you with exporting data if you have questions about it.
Oh, I see what you mean now. I'm not the best person to answer your question in that case. I think one of the common options for obtaining custom statistics is using a Calculated Table.
Hopefully when Jordan sees this later this week he can jump in and help.
