Here's an example using an instanced process flow with the operator as the instance.worker_jl.fsm

You could get the operator to walk alongside the object or in later versions of FlexSim have a kinematic activity move the operator at the same speed.

I added a lavel to each operator called yoffset and then use that to adjust the travel to location activity/task.

I assumed there are two steps to the process and now cycle the colors from initial brown through,

red in step1,
green : step 1 complete
blue: in step 2
yellow: step 2 complete

I put them back into a single process flow and list, partitioned the list by DP and added the following labels to the operators:

for use as reference in the generic process flow.

Then I added logic to stop and resume a conveyor motor if the item reaches the endDP before it has completed that step, and resume when that step is complete. The item now has a label for processStep and incompleteAtExit.
