Loading dock area Operator use

Well days can you help me correct the model I have, what happens is that I have a model where 4 workers participate to go from the loading area to the exit 1,2 some boxes what I want is that they only load two operators per exit that The 4 operators do not act for a single output and it would be more or less like this, that is, there are 4 operators working while two operators load an output area the other two also do the same and another error that I do not want is that when they are loading in The waiting area is that the operators will agree if any of these areas is available, that is to say that they go in order and take as a priority that to load it depends on the waiting area that is filled. first, download it and so follow that sequence

Hi @Kevin S7,

I modified your model to achieve my interpretation of your desired objective. I added in another dispatcher to help with having just two operators work on a task at the same time. I also modified the queues to help streamline the flow somewhat. I enabled the option to "Flush Content between Batches," so the queues could alternate better. I also added a Pull Strategy on the exit queues to have them pull from the queue that has been waiting longer to allow for Round Robin behavior.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have additional questions!
