trying for time plot for work in process token labels

sudheer_r — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 15:32:49 GMT

[ FlexSim 20.1.3 ]

I am trying to capture cumulative value of particular token label i.e. between Custom code - On entry and before Custom Code-2 on Exit.

Every time a token enters Custom code I am trying for time it enters and the cumulative value of particular label and every time a token exists also cumulative value should be updated by subtracting from the total value.

I have successfully updated the time and cumulative value. But not able to achieve the time plot.

stats.fsm

Hello @SudheerReddy,

If you open your statistics collector, go to the general tab and select view table you will see the statistics being gathered. Currently the statistics keeps track of the number of tokens between custom cod and custum code 2 and the time that has elapsed since the beginning of the simulation. Your plot does plot the single data point in the table.

From your description above you are wanting to keep track of the quantity of tokens in that part of the process flow, however I do not understand what time you are trying to keep track of. Could you explain that?

@Jeanette F... I am looking for time plot as line plot which shows all the history of entries. As of know it is showing only one single point which doesn't show all the previous points.

Hello @SudheerReddy,

As I was trying to figure out the statistics collector I realized that the zone activities do exactly what you are asking. You can place the enter and exit zone in the places you want to track the current number of tokens and the time plot.

I will attach your model with the zones implemented and the chart.

@Jeanette F Zone will give only number of tokens vs time. But I am not looking for number of tokens vs time....Each token has label called "C"...I am counting the label "C" here....

Here's the model from your other post.
