Down State triggered by Process Completion

Hello,

I currently have a model with several processors and operator that doesn't currently use Process Flow.

The operators and relevant equipment are tied to one single dispatcher.

It also has a Time Table that triggers a Down State - Cleaning event for 45min 3 times a day.

When a specific processor (that doesn't use operators) completes its task, I would like it to send all the operators into an additional 45min of Down State - Cleaning. I imagine a solution where the processor sends a message to the dispatcher, with an On Message triggering it to stop all the operators attached.

I thought about using another processor to represent the 45min of down time, but the number of operators varies a lot and they all need to stop.

Hi @Casimir C,

It's hard to know how to help without looking at your model. To receive a more accurate solution, please post your model or a sample model that demonstrates your question.

Proprietary models can be posted as a private question visible only to FlexSim U.S. support staff. You can also contact your local FlexSim distributor for phone or email help.

That being said, attached is a sample model that I think is what you are looking for. Check out the model and see if something like this would work for you. If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.

Thanks.

This is exactly what I needed. I'm just going to take the message you are sending with the MTBF and have the processor send it On Process Finish. Thanks a ton!
