Default keeping balance betwen resource allocation

hi everybody

I have got two objects producing flow item, the first one is a source and the second is a rack.
every one of those uses coordinated task sequences to obtain transporter. however, apparently only one of them is basically successful and almost all the transporters are only allocated to that.

how can we make a more fair allocation of transporters to flow item producers?

Hopefully I have understood your question correctly:

Try putting a dispatcher between the source & Rack and the transporters.

You can then change the queue strategy on the dispatcher which will change the order the task seqences are processed in.
