OPERATOR TASK

I need to do the next operation and I don't know how to do it.

1.I have an operator that get a pallet from a source and leave it in a combiner.

2.From other side arrive to the combiner 4 boxes.

3. Once the operator leave the pallet on the combiner, wait until the combiner finishes its process.

4. Then the operator get the exit item from the combiner and leave it to another queue (called queue 2)

5. Then the operator goes to the pallet queue and get another pallet to leave it again on the combiner.

6. Once the combiner finishes its process, the operator get the exit item from the combiner, goes to the queue 2 and get also the item from this queue 2.

7. Now the operator has the two items and leave them into a processor.

8. While this processor is working the operator get another item from the pallet queue and leave it into the combiner.

9. When the combiner finishes, the operator leave this item to the queue 2, goes to the pallet queue, get another pallet and leave it in the combiner again.

10. Once the combiner finishes leave the item in the queue 2.

(Now I have two items in the queue 2 and another two items in the processor).

11. When the processor finishes the operator unload the items from the processor to a queue 3.

12. Get the two items from the queue 2 and leave them into the processor.

13. From this point the operator return to the point 8 and repeat all the movements.

Could you be so kindly to help me to do this task sequence?

Thank you in advance.

What you're describing is a lot of standard flexsim functionality. Can you start and we can see how far you get and offer advice if you get stuck?

Hi Jason,

That's what I reach, you can see it in the model attached.

I reach until the point 4 of my explanation, but I can't get the pallet from the pallet queue again

My operator in this step get the pallet from the queue 2, and I don't know why.

Thank you.

v2_jl.fsmIt looks like you're doing it all as one big process flow.

Is there a reason you don't want each of the tasks done separately and then let the operator do whichever one needs doing next?

The attached model doesn't use any process flow.
