producing 2 products at the same time

The products we produce are processed in pairs. In other words, we can say they are like combined products. However, in the next steps, they are divided into two and 2 different products are produced. Since they are produced at the same time, I multiplied the processing time by 2, but I still cannot reach the product I need to produce daily. I added code to the source. Can you check if it works correctly?

The longest process time in the model is 92s on the first processor (technically it's 108s for the soldering, but because that is split between two processors it's effectively halved). the time it takes the operator at the first station to move the item to the next processor and return to resume production is added to those 92s and results in an overall interval of around 100s per item (or pair). So the model works as expected.

Ancak damla mak, flux, preheat soldering1 soldering2 ve emirhan mak adımlarında aynı anda 2 ürün üretiliyor. Yani 108 saniye ikiye bölünecek ama 92 saniye de ikiye bölünecek. Toplam günlük çalışma saati 510 dakika. Darboğaz kısmı 88 saniye (flux + preheat + soldering1 + soldering2) olduğundan 88 saniye 1,5 dakika ediyor. 510/1,5 günde 340 ürün üretilmesi gerekmiyor mu? 304 alıyorum.

You describe flux, preheat and soldering as a single process of 88s. That to me implies that only a single (pair) item should be allowed to enter that group of processors at a time. That is not currently the case in the model and leads to higher throughput due to parallel processes.

If the times in the model represent two items, then the target number should be 170, no?
