Operator work on 2 processors when one on a break

I have 2 processors with 2 operators. When one of them goes on a break I need the other operator to cover for him. I tried many things but it doesn't seem to work.

@Krish S,

Do you want the operator to "finish" the other operator's work? If so, you could try saving the existing task sequence assigned to the operator that goes on break, then send that task sequence back to the dispatcher.

Another thing to consider: If the other operator has his own work to do, which work should he prioritize? His own?

I want the operator to finish the work before he leaves. And the other operator should prioritize his own before moving to do the other person job.

Hi @Krish S

I have removed the dispatcher and connected and connect "Operator 1" as a center port connection 1 and connect "Operator 2" as a center port connection 2 for both the processors. Then I used the below code to assign the operator for "Processor 1" based on their state value.

int portnum = 1;
Variant stateVal = current.centerObjects[portnum].stats.state().valueString;
if(stateVal == "breakdown")
{
    return current.centerObjects[2];
}
else
{
    return current.centerObjects[1];
}

Below code to assign the operator for "Processor 2".

int portnum = 2;
Variant stateVal = current.centerObjects[portnum].stats.state().valueString;
if(stateVal == "breakdown")
{
    return current.centerObjects[1];
}
else
{
    return current.centerObjects[2];
}

Attached the model for your reference (Flexsim Version 19.0.0)

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
