MTBF "Waiting for Operators" box

Hi flexmmers,

I have a question regarding MTBF set up.

There is a setup option for processor(machine) where users can check or uncheck "waiting for operators."(seen attachment)

What does this box aim for? I have tried to unchecked it but then my production line stopped going right before the processor and it accumulated.

Thank you for whoever offering assistance. :)

At what point do things start accumulating because you have it set so the processor stop processing items when down, does it resume processing once it is repaired?

Here is my model, you can find that Processor1 won't resume as the option is "no".

This is a bug with that pick option. I will fix it for the next bugfix release.

You can fix it now by editing the code in that pick option. Remove line 24:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
