How to make the operators pick the shortest route

Hi guys

for my internship, I need to simulate a proces as good as I can. I am pretty new to Flexsim so i could use some help. I have inserted the file that I am working on.

simulated-process.fsm

I need to let the operators in the middle pick the shortest route to the upper conveyor, pick up a box and bring it back to their processors (I have changed their appearances to a working table), process it and take the shortest route to the lower conveyor to put the processed box on.

So far I can let them do all that except letting them pick the shortest route to their Processor.

You guys could make my day if you would help me.

Thank you in advance The internguy

Waht you want is the operator move to the finished item to shortest distance is to wide the connected output port more wide.

I attach the model.
