3 workers process, interruptible workers and variable processing time

Hello every body,

I try to model a 3 servers process and I'm getting some trouble. The model is composed of 3 servers and 3 operators . Each operator is a "specialist" for a server, Worker 1, 2, 3 for the server 1, 2, 3 respectively. However the workers 2 and 3 can help the worker 1 at the server 1 if they are not busy. The processing time of server 1 will adjust proportionally to the number of workers working at the server. (There is a 4th worker whose task is to move parts to the server 3 or the sink. But I don't think it plays any role in the problem.)

I've implemented some processes so that workers work at the right server. It was working perfectly. But then, as I modified the model to add the variable processing time, the Interrupt steps in the processes don't work anymore. Indeed, the worker 2 or 3 stay at the server 2 or 3 and don't go to help the worker 1 when servers 2 or 3 are blocked, or idle. As well, if workers 2 or 3 are busy at server 1 they are not interrupted when a part arrive to the server 2 or 3.

I hope I'm clear enough. I've enclosed the model so that you can better picture the problem.



Thank you for your attention and thank you in advance for any help I may get! :)
