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.
Variation of process time
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:
- directly: label value is process time
- indirectly: label value is row number of global table
- indirectly: item.Type value is row number of global table
- 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?
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.
