How can I indicate to operator to work only on a specific process?

Hello,

I have a model with 5 processes, each of them have a specific color box (green, white, orange, red and yellow). I have 1 operator assigned for each process, so the green operator should take the green box from the queue, then take it to the specific process for the green box. Then the white operator should take the white box from the same queue and then execute the specific process for that box and then the same with all colors. The thing is that sometimes the green operator goes an takes the yellow box and take it to the yellow process. So how can I indicate to the green operator to only execute tasks for the green boxes and the green process?

Below you can see the model I created.

Hello Juan Jose,

The easiest way to accomplish this is by not using a dispatcher. A dispatcher is used when we have more than 1 operator doing the same task, but in this case we can imagine like the task is not exactly the same (since the item Type and destination is different).

To achieve this, in the example that i am sending you I have remove the dispatcher and I have use a center connection directly between the queue and each operator. Then, I went to the Output section and selected the option "Center Port By Case" in the use transport option. After that, I just did something similar to your option to choose the destination of the item based on item Type.

Therre are more ways to accoplish this, but I beliieve this is the fastest.
