Operators connected to dispatchers

Hi!


I have been dealing with some modeling issues regarding the execution of tasks linked to processors and multiprocessors, via operators connected to dispatchers. In the model, there are several aligned processors with short operating times in which operators are intercalating between them. Is there any strategy I can use to hold the operators on the same processor until the end of the items on queue?

Thank you!

Yes, there is some ways to take care of that, but, please, is it possible to share your model with us here in the answer's website to look at and provide more assertive answer to you?

Yes, sure!

This is just an example, a tiny part of the process.

Thank you.

So just to understand your request. You are looking to hold the operator for the same item till the end?

@Sam Stubbs, Yes, I'm looking to hold the operator at the same processor until the end of items on queue. Each processor in this sequence is equivalent to a manufacturing step in which the operators don't change place.

Hi @Felipe T ,

Instead of using Dispatcher, Resource-Shared assets would be a better option to hold the operator at the same processor until queue becomes empty. I have attached the sample model. After acquiring the operator it will not release until queue becomes empty. I hope this will help you.

resource-shared assets.fsm

Thanks.
