Warehouse Unloading Procedure

[kyle_schultzSB6JD]

I am trying to replicate the unloading procedure for a warehouse dock. There are several forklift operators that each unload full truckloads individually. I have been working on trying to replicate this in the software but have been unsuccessful in getting the forklifts to be randomly assigned to docks as loads arrive. I can get all available lifts to unload a truck but that is not the process I want to replicate. Any direction on how I can replicate this process is helpful.

How are the docks currently implemented in the model? Are they represented by separators or did you design custom logic using queues or other objects?

In the case of separators, I would use a Process Flow that acquires a TE when an item enters the separator. This TE is written to a label on the separator so it can be referenced in the Send to Port field.
