Throughput Calculation via Token

Hello,

I'm trying to determine how long it takes to pick an order from start to finish within my process flows. My process flows take an order

Splits the order
Processes the split order in different processes
Merges the order back into a rack

I'm trying to calculate the time it takes from Step 1 to Step 3, but the throughput charts only allow me to select a 3D-object and I need to be able to capture the time the token flows through my process flows. I read up a bit on Zone, but there isn't a age() function like in list. Is there another way to capture the statistic in a process flow?

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.2

@King-Ki F

If you have your order enter a zone at the start of picking and then exit the zone at the end of picking then you can get to the zones statistics by clicking on the statistics button in the Quick Properties Tab.

In that GUI you can then click on the Pin icon next to the Stay time values to pin the graph in a dashboard. Here is a picture of a sample with the dashboard that you get.

I hope this answers your question,

Brandon

Is there no way to push the data through one of the throughput templates in order to get hourly break outs?

Hi @King-Ki F,

Can you describe what you mean by hourly break outs?

I mean in the charts there is a template called Throughput per Hour. I want to try to get the same output for my tokens that are pushed into the zone, which might be called Staytime per Hour?

@King-Ki F

In any of the Throughput Per Hour templates you can use the eye dropper icon (circled in red below) to select a process flow activity to add it to the Objects list. An exception that I have found to this, is that it does not work for activities that are part of an instance process flow. @jordan.johnson may be able to help out if you are trying to monitor an activity in an instance process flow.

I hope this gets you where you want to be,

Brandon
