Variation of process time

Hi,

How do I configure my processor so that the item has different processing times? For example, I need a change in processing time between 7.8.9 hours per unit.
FlexSim 19.0.0

The standard is the cange by the type of item (item.Type). Naturally it is a special label that is assigned to an item. In earlier versions the itemtype was a unique attribute. Now it is just a label, because of the character you can change for example the process time by any label.

There are two mechanisms you can use. The value of a label is the process time directly. Or the indirect mechanism translates a label value to a process time by the structure switch - case or by reading global table cells. The label value contains a link to row or column in a table.

4 processors evaluate differently a label to change the process time:

  1. directly: label value is process time
  2. indirectly: label value is row number of global table
  3. indirectly: item.Type value is row number of global table
  4. indirectly: item.Type value is statement in switch case structure

In my case they are with equal objects, without varying the item type. Can not change in the processor properties window?

@Cayo E,

Two of the examples that @Jörg Vogel gave (Cases 1, 2) did not use item type. Would either of those work for you?

Alternatively, you can set the process time within the Processor to follow a distribution. The downside to this option is that you can't control the process time depending on what kind of item it's processing.
