For the time you could use the 'Staytime By Type' chart and use 'tableRow' as the type label to partition the chart by the tours. This chart measures the time that elapses between an item/token entering an 'Entry Object' and it reaching the an 'Exit Object'.

To measure the travel distance per tour you will need a custom statistics collector though (or write the relevant data to a global table from the process flow).

The collector can also include the travel time, to have all data in one place.

Like the default chart, the collector reacts to tokens entering the sub flow activity (tour starts), as well as the activity directly after it (tour ends). The 'tableRow' token label is used as the 'Row Value' so the collector creates a new row for each tour.

There are five columns: Tour, TourTime and TourDist store the relevant data, StartTime and StartDist store the initial values when the tour starts, so the difference between start and end values can be calculated when the tour is finished.

The entry event of the subflow will cause a new row to be created with the 'Row Add Values' in each column. The entry event of the finish marker is then supposed to update the TourTime and TourDist columns, so those are marked in the 'Event/Columns Connections' section at the bottom of the window.

I understood about using stay time. but I try to reduce to one row (List1 only) I saw operator go to Queue1 then pick and move to Queue7 when starting next Queue (is Queue2) why the operator have to go to Queue first? why the operator go to Queue2 immediately? and last one the operator doesn't walk on path.

If you only want to collect data for one tour you can set a condition in the statistics collector's events, so it only triggers if the 'tableRow' label is equal to a certain value.

The other things you mention are based on the changes I made to the model to attach the screenshot to the comment on your other question. I reverted them in the model below.

If I want to know which operator operate each List? How do I set it up?

The 'operator' reference on the token is already accessed in the 'StartDist' and 'TourDist' columns to read the total travel distance from the operator.

If you just remove the command to read the distance, the value of the 'operator' label will be written to the column.
