Define Failure Dialog Box

Defines a time mode for the failure:

Total Time: schedules the failure based on the simulation time.
Busy Time: schedules the failure based on the resource busy time.
Total Production: schedules the failure based on the total number of products handled by the resource.

Specifies the moment when the failure starts:

After Task Complete: applicable for workers or robots. Failure occurs after the current task on the workers or robots is complete. The failure occurs at the worker's or robot's current location.
After Task Complete + Go to Parking Complete: Applicable to workers. After completing the current task, the worker moves to the assigned parking zone for the current completed operation where the failure happened. If you did not assign a parking zone, then the failure occurs at the worker's current location.
Immediate: the repair starts when the failure ends.
Note:
- If AGV is not at DEC, the failure is triggered immediately.
- If AGV is at DEC, the failure is triggered after all operations on that DEC are completed.
When Operation Ends: the repair starts at the end of the current activity.

Lets you choose how to restart the activity previous to the repair.

Continue: the activity restarts from the moment of interruption.
Restart: the activity restarts from the beginning.
Scrap: unloads the input products of the previously executing activity and waits for new inputs.

Lets you specify the behavior of resources with a robot or worker performing a task.

Continue with New Mobile Request: the current resource (such as a machine) raises a new mobile request. In this case, a new mobile resource (such as a worker or a robot) completes the resource's current task.
Wait: the current resource (such as a machine) waits until the current interrupt on mobile resource is complete.

At the specified time of failure, the mobile resource enters Failed state based on the Start Mode you selected. If the mode is Stationary Resources, then the machine enters Waiting for Resource state.

You can view the failure statistics in the HTML Report, Global HTML Report, and States History Gantt chart.

Lets you modify the name of the failure.

Specifies the number of products before a failure occurs.

This option is available when you choose Total Production from the Schedule Mode list.

Specifies the time at which the failure starts.

You can specify a probability time distribution instead of a specific duration by clicking Distribution.

Specifies is subsequent AGVs are allowed to bypass the failed AGV.

If Yes, subsequent AGV waits until the failed AGV is repaired.

If No, subsequent AGV overtakes the failed AGV. The failed AGV becomes inactive. It remains on the pathway but is not included in simulation.

Lists the NC machines impacted by a failure.

You can add impacted NC machines to the list from the tree or the work area with the Add command. You can only add one machine at a time and cannot use multiselection. When a failure occurs, all the impacted NC machines listed stop at the end of their current activity.

You can remove an impacted machine with the Remove command.

When you repair the failure, all the listed impacted NC machines restart immediately and the action will not scrap the parts.

At the specified time of failure, the machine enters Failed state. All the impacted machines are interrupted once they finish their existing operations and their products are not scrapped, then they will enter the Stopped state. When the machines enter this state, it is visible in the State Times chart but not in the Operations chart. This occurs since no operation is running at this time.

You can view the failure statistics in the HTML Report, Global HTML Report, and States History Gantt chart.

Displays the repair associated with the failure:

Name: Lets you modify the name of the repair.

Time to Repair: Specifies the time at which the repair starts.; You can specify a probability time distribution instead of a specific duration by clicking Distribution.

Assigned resource pools: Displays the resource pools that fix the failure. You can define which resource pool will fix the failure by clicking Assign and selecting a resource. You can remove a resource pool by selecting a resource pool and clicking Unassign.
