Setting Operator travel time along conveyor

In my model, I have made the operator walk along with item in a conveyor using process flow. Operator walks along with item when it reaches a initial Decision point DP1. Now, I want him to walk along the item for certain period of time and return back to initial decision point without setting a final destination Decision point. Can this be done?

I have attached a model for reference. (In the model I have used a decision point for final destination and manipulated walking time by changing speed of operator and conveyor, but I want speed to be constant and distance travelled as variable)

You send a delayed message to the operator. If the operator receives this message, he creates and dispatch a preempting and aborting tasksequence which makes him go back to the decision point. You can achieve the same with a process flow.
