I want my production line not to continue if a process has not been completed

my production is of soaps and there is only one operator performing the entire line, this consists of a processor, a combinator, a separator and a queue (in that order) the separator simulates the pouring of the liquid soap base to the 100 molds with which the company has (this is done from the combiner to the separator) my parameter is the number of molds that would increase in groups of 100 units, however, I need the production line to restart if I increase the number of molds in the separator, however each output is a maximum of 100 units and the molds can only be used again when they leave the final storage, in this storage the molds must remain 30 hours. What modifications do you recommend or how can I do it?

Strict usage of operator for processing and replenishment.
A sequence of priority values to apply a strict sequence of steps in a cycle for operator duties.
Hold a cycle to get enough molds available in step of replenishment.
Minimum Dwell Time in rack objects.

Prevent output of molds during processing from rack objects to insert an unwanted mixture of priorities.
Use container items like pallet or tote as molds.
