[ FlexSim 18.1.2 ]

For example: To make two different products with different time cycles(or process times) (to plastic injection for example), when I use the same machine to produce these items. How can I do to put two different cycle times ?

Hello @Caio Santiago, attached it is a model in which you can see how to set different process time for different products. You will see I set the Item Type in the OnCreation trigger in the Source and then, from the processor, process time is set depending on this by using the By Case option.

Ok Ali F12, but this is to put 2 processors to make 1 product. I want the inverse, 2 diferentes products in only one processor.

After the processor(s) you can use the combiner, to combine each product together and return in one:

Processor1-->Box

--------> Combiner--> Palletized Box

Processor 2--> Pallet
