ACQUIRE THE SAME OPERATOR IN THE PROCESS FLOW

I have a model that has 2 groups of operators. I need only one operator from the group 1 to take the items that I specified in the different pull from list that I added in the process flow. It means that the operator that start doing the activity one has to finish it. The operator need to take the quantity that is specified in the pull from list made for each item type then the operator has to carry that quantity to the processor and process those items and then go bak to the queue to take the other items and countinue the activity until the queue is empty and then the operator are free. I need to be the same operator how can I do that? help.fsm

Could you possibly use a decide activity and then have each process flow contain an acquire activity? This picture illustrates what I mean (but without the logic).

What you are doing with acquire resource should do that, is the trouble where they all get hung up in the same activity block? Also your model doesn't run that you sent, it gets stuck with all your travel activities.

@Paúl Alejandro R

I have attached the model with the changes. In the attached model, Instead of creating a token for each arrival of items, Here I have created the tokens to each process block based on the number of resources available. Then acquire the operator after pulling them from the list, then release the same operator based on the condition used in Decide activity. I hope this will help you to proceed further.
