Operator vs. processor states

I have 3 operators and three processors. Operators are connected to the processors through a dispatcher. All the processors and operators are on the same schedule. However, the utilization % of operators differs from the utilization of processors. I am trying to understand why this can happen. Any insights?

@MohammadMajd, I think one simple explanation for why your processors and operators have different utilization times is because the operators have more types of tasks they perform compared to the processors.

Take a look at this example of data from your model. Your WU Rooms only have 5 types of states while your operators have 8 types. That alone will differentiate utilization percentages.
