Time Table for Shift Patterns in Process Flow

Hi everyone, I'm struggling to get the time tables function to work in process flow.

Basically what I'm trying to create is 4 process lines, each one acquires a machine, acquires an operator, processes the token and then releases all resources.

The operators are in 2 groups, 2 operators for the morning shift (8am - 1pm) and 4 operators in the afternoon shift (12pm - 5pm). These 2 groups are then grouped into an overall operators group which is what the process line acquires.

I've tried to setup a timetable to set the operator shift patterns but can't get it to work and just get error messages when I run it.

I'm probably doing it completely wrong but can anyone give me some advice how to fix my model or if there is a better way of representing the process.

Thanks in advance!

@Shaun M2

In order for Time Tables to work, the member need to be 3D objects, such as operators or processors. In your model, the members are pointing to the operator resource in the process flow, which is why you're getting errors.

I would suggest building a simple 3D model that uses your process flow logic and add the 3D operators to your groups and Time Tables.
