Use two operators for setup and one operator for processing in a Processor

Hi FlexSim team,

How can I configure the processor to use two "Technicians" for Setup (if available) and one Operator for Process.

There is only the option for use one Operator for Setup and one operator for processing (If I select Properties > Processor > Operator > Edit Parameters). As you can see in the picture, only one Technician is utilized.

4. Grainding - 3D Grainder.fsm

Is there a way to configure this?

Hi Luis Fernando,

Have you tried to specify the number in the field highlighted?

I hope it works.

The dispatcher object is ideal for this situation. You can utilize both technicians by removing their S-connections from each processor, and instead S-connecting each processor to a dispatcher. Then A-connect the dispatcher to the two technicians. I have made this change to the model you provided:

4-grainding-3d-grainder_JK.fsm

I've also attached a demonstration model that shows the correct way to set up the utilization of multiple operators using a dispatcher.

DispatcherDemonstration.fsm

You also had a trigger on each technician, which ended up sending them to Grinder 8 after each task, so I removed it. Feel free to put it back in and change it to get the original functionality you wanted. This is the trigger I removed:

Hi Lucas,

Thank you for your comment, that is right, but I did not specified that the Setup for Processor requires only one technician but I was asking in the case of two technicians available, the first available go to the processor and setup.

Thank you,

Luis
