How to get the lead time after joining in combiner

Hello,

i want to get the leadtime of my product from the beginning to the end of a production. In between is a combiner in join mode. If i track the Entry time of my parts, as a label, they will be destroyed after the joining process. How do i get a label from those parts with the earliest EntryTime onto my FlowItem leaving the combiner? Is that possible with the recycling FlowItems option?

I have the same question for the seperator.

Thx a lot

Luca S.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.2

combiner label flexsim 18.1.2 join leadtime

Hello Luca,

can you please post the current state of your model, so we do not have to guess what exactly it is you need help with?

Thx

Ralf

You can add something like this to an entry trigger of the combiner:

if (content(current)>1)
    current.first.starttime=minof(current.first.starttime,item.starttime);

Example attached.
