This chapter describes options for selecting the module statistics to collect and report for a
simulation run. The statistics that are reported for each module type are also described in
detail.
There are two main sections to describe the module statistics. The first is “Selecting the
statistics to report,” which describes options for selecting the module statistics to collect
and report for a simulation run. The second section, “Statistics descriptions,” describes the
statistics that are reported for packaging-related modules in Arena’s Category Overview
report. The statistics are described by module (e.g., Machine, Conveyor, Palletizer, etc.).
Selecting the statistics to report
Module statistics are not generated by default. Instead, Arena Packaging allows you to
choose which statistics you want to collect, write to the report database, and see in Crystal
Reports. You specify that a module’s statistics are included in the reports by selecting the
Statistics option in the module dialog box.
It is also easy to turn off statistics for all modules of a particular type (e.g., turn off
statistics for all conveyors or all machines). Within the Simulate module, there are check
boxes for collecting statistics on Machines, Conveyors, Palletizers, Operators, Operator
Check “Statistics”
