Hey @Nikhil Rane, your Task Executer (TE) wasn't moving because you had a "Wait for Event" activity right after the "Create TS" activity. That caused the TE to be frozen until that event happened (which it never fired). You could either change the trigger or remove that wait.

Why don't you use a Kanban system? When the queue gets to 1 then push the queue or part to a global list of needed replenishments. Then have your replenisher pull replenish jobs from the list. As it is the timing of events is preventing them being detected - using lists will bypass this issue.
