Total Cost—This statistic reports the total operating cost of the machine. This statistic is
calculated as follows:

Total Cost = Equipment Operating Cost + Cost of Good Product + Cost of Lost Product

Conveyor statistics

The Category Overview statistics for a conveyor are described below. Conveyor Name
refers to the symbol name of the conveyor entered in the main module dialog box.

Note: All times and rates are reported in base time units.

ESCRIPTION

Capacity—This statistic reports the total number of units the conveyor can hold at any
given time. This value is calculated using the following equation: unit density * length *
width.

Nominal Run Speed—This statistic reports the nominal transfer rate of the conveyor
(Units/BaseTimeUnit). This value is calculated using the following equation: unit density
* width * nominal belt velocity.

SUMMARY

Total Units Conveyed—This statistic reports the total number of units (good and lost) that
were taken off the conveyor. The following expression holds:

Total Units Conveyed = Total Good Units Conveyed + Total Units Lost

The value of this statistic is the last value of the conveyor variable Conveyor
Name_UnitsConveyed.

Total Good Units Conveyed—This statistic reports the total number of good units that
have been taken off the conveyor.

The value of this statistic is the last value of the conveyor variable Conveyor
Name_GoodUnitsConveyed.

Total Units Lost—This statistic reports the total number of units that were taken off the
end of the conveyor as loss or scrap.

Current Units Inside—This statistic reports the total number of units still on the conveyor
at the current time (usually the end of the simulation).

The value of this statistic is the last value of the conveyor variable Conveyor
Name_UnitsInside.
