Sequential Ramp Processing in FlexSim

In the simulation, there are two ramps connected to the red dispatcher. From each ramp, three types of products are unloaded: totes, pallets, and boxes. The operator teams can serve both ramps jointly.

However, at time 0 seconds, products may arrive at both ramps simultaneously. In the example scenario, totes arrive at both ramps at the same time.

In the real-life operation, this situation is handled differently:

  • First, all products from one ramp are completely unloaded.
  • Only after finishing that ramp, operators move to the other ramp and unload all its products.

In other words:

  • Products should not be picked simultaneously from both combiners (e.g., “Çuval14” and “Çuval16” at the same time).
  • This rule applies to all product types (totes, pallets, and boxes).

Expected Behavior

What I want to achieve in the simulation is:

  1. Operators should fully complete unloading one ramp.
  2. Only after that, they should move to the second ramp.
  3. Then, they should complete unloading the second ramp.

Issue

I have tried multiple coding approaches, but I could not achieve this behavior.

I have attached the model below.
Could you please demonstrate the solution directly on the simulation?

This is an issue I have been working on for a long time.
Thank you in advance for your support.
