Operator task logic question

Hello all!


I just have a quick question regarding operator's and their task logic. Currently I have my operators going from the first processor to the queue once it's done processing, then they load the next processors up and go back into the first processor, which I do want them to do. Eventually though they back to the next group of processors.


I want to know what the logic would be to make sure they stay working at the first group of processors, and sort of block the queue or something like that. Essentially I want them to only work at the first group of processing stations until the arrival schedule is done and then once the 8 items are processed, they can go on throughout the rest of the model. I'll attach my model and an image of it to this question, and will try to clarify my question as well. Thank you all!

@Donald H ,

One way to do this is using the Queue2's Perform Batching property, setting the Target Batch Size in 8.

In this way, only after all of the items are collected, the Queue sends the items to the second group of processors.

Hope it helps!
