Template that show impact of working time on the use of other machine

Hi All.

I already posted a question about my problem but i didn't get a right solusion. What i'm trying to is find bottleneck in my model process. M2 has the longest process time 30s so it means its a bottleneck. Now i want to show what will happen if i reduce process time on this machine to OTHER objects (M1, M3). Which template should i use ? In other words : i need a chart that shows the impact of working time on the use of other machines (throughput, efficiency)

In the attachment I send a charts examples that i'm looking for.

Thank all again 😉

Hey @Piotr R

I was looking through questions and realized that this did not have an answer, so I apologize for that.

I think the simplest way to do this would be to create a dashboard and use Throughput by hour or minute or day, and then another pie or gantt chart that detects state changes. Then set your model to run for a certain amount of time, and run it and record the amount of Throughput and how much time it spend idle. If you have statistical distributions in your model, I would run it more than a few times to get a good average of your states and your through put. Once you have those numbers, you can just change the process time, and repeat. Run it, record the numbers, and get an average to compare to the model runs with a larger processing time. I hope this helps. If it does not, could you tag me @Braydn T and clarify a little more what those charts mean in your picture? Unfortunately I do not speak Polish:)

Hey @Piotr R

Do you still need help with this?
