Question Re-entrant Process

Hi all

I want to make re-entrant process in flexsim.
Suppose i have 2 item type (product A and product B)

The Flow of Process:

Product A:
Source->Queue1(RedBox)->Processor2(RedBox)->Queue2(RedBox)->Processor3(RedBox)->Queue2(BrownBox)->Processor4(BrownBox)->Queue1->Processor1(BrownBox)->Queue2->Processor3(BrownBox)->sink

Product B:
Source->Queue1(GreenBox)->Processor1(GreenBox)->Queue2(GreenBox)->Processor3(GreenBox)->sink

I don't know how to handle product A, since there is a re-entrant process there which different processor could be used.

Hope, someone can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Ankus,

I've attached your model with the changes I made. Take a look at it and see if it is doing what you describe in your post.
