Have you considered using the Arrival Table or Arrival Sequence options?

Also, instead of having 6 "Send to item" actions on each decision point, you can replace them with a single condition of "item.Type <= 6" on the first one, "item.Type <= 12" on the second, etc.

Sure @georgia M2, you can use the operators >, >=, < and <= for comparisons, and && and || for and and or. However, in this case that is not necessary because all items with types less then 6 will get sent off by the first decision point, so items arriving at the decision point are guaranteed to have item type at least 7. By the way, note that the the item type label is called item.Type (with a capital)
