Constraints
On this screen, the user will define the rate limit and interrupts for each constraint in the model.
The Constraint node represents a step in a manufacturing process that has a throughput rate and the possibility of interrupts.
The Constraint node can:
Represent a Machine, System, Sub-component
Process material based on rate per time unit
Experience Interrupts - random, wearout and re-supply, etc
When the machine is running it tracks material production, but there are several things that can happen to stop the flow of production:
Machine Failure
Scheduled Event
Operational Decision
In real systems this data is collected and stored as stops data in a Line Event Data System (LEDS). This data is often referred to as LEDS Data.
In Wishbone, another ChiAha software, we can transform the LEDS Data from Stops into Interrupts. The Interrupts model the underlying distributions for time to failure and time to repair (TTF/TTR).
