How could I make two opers working simultaneously?

Hi I'm new to FlexSim, and try to understand the flow control between operators(token?). Attached is the model that I'm trying to have the two operators work simultaneously, but I just could not make it.

Any suggestion or linked pages/documents toward to a solution is highly appreciated.

Hello @Bin Y,

Currently for your Zone you are using the max content of 1 as a constraint. This will only let one token through, which is why you only have one operator working at a time since each token is associated with only one operator.

To fix this we want the zone to allow one token through for each operator. When a token is selected you will see that there is a label called resource that tells which operator is associated with that token.

We will use a zone partition to sort the tokens and place certain constraints on those sorted tokens. In this case we will partition/sort by the label resource and constrain the zone to only allow 1 of each label resource. I implemented this for both your zones.

See model for implementation.
