Question How to dispatch the nearest person to .....

Dear Sir:
I have a question regarding Dispatcher.
In "Pass to " ,What does "Pass to the object that is close to the destination" means?
I build a small model, and I used ONE dispatcher and 3 Operator to serve 6 Machines,
But I want to control the moving behaviour of OPerators.
I want OPerator1 only move to Processor 1 ,2
Operator 2 only move to Procssesor 3,4
OPerator 3 only move to Processor 5,6
That means , people only serve the machine ,very close to him.
How to realise this , I mean how to code in 'Pass To" section ....
(I just have a vague idea that i can center-connect the person to designated machines and
in pass-to section ,to code.....
Thank you in advance!Wait for your kind reply!
Jeff

I am not sure if I understand your problem right, but if I would have to solve the task where specific operator should work only on specific machines I would use a bunch of dispatcher.

In the described case I would have 3 Dispatcher. Processor1 and 2 are center connected with Dispatcher 1 who is connected with Operator 1. Processor3 and 4 are center connected with Dispatcher 2 who is connected with Operator 2. Processor5 and 6 are center connected with Dispatcher 3 who is connected with Operator 3.
If there is only one taskexecuter (Operator) for the job the taskexecuter could also be connected directly.
The concept of the dispatcher and taskexecuter in my eyes are the way to build teams and Operator with different abilities, because an Operator can be connected to more than one dispatcher.

So I would use just the Flexsim Standard and would not to try stuff like “Pass To”. And if you read in the “Pass To” your suggestion with the “Pass to the object that is close to the destination” there is written “if the object is on a network”. In your model I can not see a network. I also guess (did not test it) that this option is meant for “use transport” and not for “use operator”.

If i use one dispatcher(not two or three) for serveral operators, ,
then i can use Experimenter to test the optimal peoples/machine ratio,ie, 2 people control a machine /or 3 people controls a machine, etc...

If you could possibly give me some code in the "dispatch to " to control the nearest machines?
