Avergae storage duration

Hello,

Has anyone here ever had the case where they wanted to show the average storage duration of a component?
I have a layout in which many different parts are conveyed into a warehouse and these are then retrieved individually and combined into systems (assemnblies).

Thank you very much

Many times. Create properties to products (time stamps). Record the time in (assign) when the product enters and again when it departs. There you have data. Write e.g to file or whatever is needed.

Thank you for your reply, can you possibly help me with the assign statements?

and how reliable is the statistics function Statistics.PartsAverageTime?
Can it be completely relied upon?

Kind regards

If you set the Statistics update interval short I think it should be OK (depending on what you need). That average is for all products. If you need to have the data for each product type, then you may need another approach.

in my case there are 10 warehouses, some with different parts, and the simulation time is 180 hours i think with an interval of 60sec i get a good overview of the total average storage time.
Of course it would be nicer to see this for each product type, but I think I have to work with the assign statements for incoming and outgoing?
thanks
