Task sequence

I have a process flow model that uses an operator to perform several tasks (primarily modeled as delays). Some tasks require two operators. Although I can acquire two operators, only one operator is being shown as "busy" during the task and the other shows as "idle." Is there any way to get them to both show up as "busy?” Thanks.

Even though you acquired both operators the Task Sequence activities only work for 1 resource at a time. You can't have 1 delay activity set both operators to Busy. You would either need to split your flow and have two delay activities side-by-side, or you could connect the two activities in series like normal and have each reference a different operator. If using the second option you would need to uncheck the option of "wait til complete". That way it would skip through to the second activity without waiting for the first delay to end. Does this make sense? I attached a little demo.
