1 operator using 2 machines

Greetings Everyone,

Thank you for being a great support!

I'm trying to use one operator for 2 machines.

Basically I'm trying to use one operator for 2 machines.

My idea is to use operator 1 for processor to start processing and immediately go to processor to 2 to start processing and return to processor 1 by the processing for 1 unit part is complete, in this both machine and operator are utlized fully.

But I'm having trouble setting the conditions, please have a look and suggest corrections accordingly.

Model attached.

1 operator 2 machine.fsm

Thank you everyone!

If the operator is only needed to start the process and not during the whole process time, then use the "Setup" for that step and do not utilize an operator for the process.
