Master time table

[ FlexSim 20.1.0 ]

Hello All,

Could you know if is possible to control different processors using one "Master time table" similar to excel attached, otherwise we need to create 1 by 1 and take to long to do it. maybe is a good feature to include in further releases.

Usually the planers schedulers for my company use the format attached.

Could you please help me with one example if is possible?

Thanks a lot for the support

Unfortunately the time table doesn't support different schedules for individual objects. If you create a time table for each processor you can set the excel importer up to update all of the tables at once.

There is another option that might work better for you. Instead of using time tables, you could use process flow to create the same logic as a time table that could read from an imported table like your schedule. You would create a token for each processor, then read table data and manually stop and start the objects.

In order to do an import you would need to have data in each of those cells. For instance a 1 for working and a 0 for not working. The current file doesn't have any data, it's just colors which FlexSim can't read.

I've attached a simple model showing how this might be done.
