Hello,
During the shift, the timing operator won't work all the time other than break he will be moving around the plant to get something, fatigue, tired(slowness), a little talk with superiors for sometimes that means he will not be available in the station/working in the station.
if I want to consider in a model that operator available time out of shift time. Is there any way to do that?
Is there any method or code in statistics?
Hi @Gokulakrishnan K2, I don't completely understand what you are saying. Are you trying to get an operator to have two different behaviors depending on the time? What statistics are you trying to get out of the model?
Here is some documentation on time tables. This might help you:

Would putting that specific operator in a MTTR/MTBF table using whatever parameters are realistic for your situation? That way that operator would "break down" (become unavailable) during their shift hours.
@Gokulakrishnan K2,
I don't personally think it's necessary to consider that the operator may get distracted or tired because this is likely a negligible detail when considering overall model performance. However, what you've described can be modeled using MTBF/MTTR.
The MTBF/MTTR can be used to generate random down times for the operators, which you can program in detail. You can specify the down/up times, as well as what the operators will do when they're down. For more information on the MTBF/MTTR, you can refer to the User Manual. If you have any specific questions about how to implement this, feel free to comment back and I'll do my best to help.
