Pull operators from the list

Hi,

In my model, I have put all the operators into a group and put each member of the group into a list. Each machine then pulls an operator from the list and uses the operator to operate the machine. However, I have found a bug in my model that causes the operators to crowd around the same machine.

I would like to present that after the machine pulls an operator from the list, the operator should continue to operate the same machine until the batch order is completed and then return to their original position.

Thank you for your suggestions.

In this model I updated the operatorRef trigger to record the operator reference in a label on the process and return that if it exists. At the end of the batch you should send the operator away and set that label to null again.
