Operator moving boxes with a task executer using the process flow.

I made a model with a an operator and a task executer. I need the operator to move with the task executer (tote) to the queue item to take the boxes and put them into the tote, then they have to move to the queue 4 to unload the boxes. I already do this, but I have a problem I need them to finish moving all of the boxes from the queue item to the queue 4, but they can only move 15 units or less per trip and now I have 50 boxes at the queue item but when they complete 45 boxes they do not move anymore. How can I make them to move the last five boxes to the queue 4?

In your ProcessFlow I noticed that the required number pulled from your list is 15. The operator is not able to finish the task because he is waiting for 15 boxes to fill up the item queue. You can change this by changing the settings in Pull from List in your process flow and change the required number. Just to clarify, do you want the operator to move 15 boxes each time from the item queue to queue4 or can he move a lower number of boxes?

@Issac L,At the beginning the operator have to move 15 boxes each trip but if at the end he do not have 15 boxes to carry he must take the rest of the boxes at the queue. I need him to finish passing the boxes.

If it is necessary to have 15 boxes in each trip and then 5 on the last trip, I would recommend using a Max Idle Timer. This will cause the operator to move the boxes at the end after a certain amount of time being idle. I have attached below a picture and an edited model. Let me know if this helps.
