I am designing a manufacturing line that produces two variants, Variant 1 and Variant 2, each with different cycle times. My goal is to produce a total of 500 units within one week. The plan is to manufacture 400 units of Variant 1, followed by a 20-minute changeover, and then produce 100 units of Variant 2.

What exactly is the question here? How to create items in an interval that depends on the type and with a changeover period?
I would just create all items in a schedule or sequence and have a processor enforce the interval and changeover duration.
Instead of scheduling flow item labels at the source, can we set up the source so that the source starts generating items with a value of '2' once 400 flow items( label "1") enter sink?
