Assign 2 operators to carry one object

[ FlexSim 20.0.10 ]

While learning new things, I came up with a situation where a heavy part of approximately 30 kgs. is being lifted by two operators to load on a milling machine. I want to replicate the exact scenario in flexsim and test the throughput of the process and the worker's efficiency.

There is a tutorial that deals with this exact situation and shows how to use a process flow to achieve this.

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/20.0/Tutorials/TaskLogic/Tutorial2CoordinatedTasks/CoordinatedTasksOverview/

Rather than create the items in the process flow, you can also react to them arriving in a queue with an Event-Triggered Source.

Aside from process flow, you can also create the needed task sequences in code. This is demonstrated in the "Coordinated Task Sequence Example 2" Use Transport option.
