Workers Off Shift

[ricardoamaia]

Hi. I have two questions regarding the off shift:

1) Is it possible to define the population of a worker as 8 from 8am to 1pm (for example) and 4 from 2pm to 6pm?

2) I understand how to interrupt a worker when he goes off shift and save the remaining time, but imagine that when the off shift action occurs the worker is waiting at a server for another worker to start processing the entity. In this case, when i interrupt the process everything runs well, but this worker stays in there, i cannot release it (the worker is off shift busy, i guess). How can i proceed in this situation?

Thank you.

Worker can only be on or off shift, so no. But for very similar behavior, you can have one Worker of population 4 that follows the indicated schedule and a second Worker of population 4 that works from 8-1.

I expect you could handle this with some tricky process logic - perhaps someone with more time can help you with that.

About the off shift busy problem, i have been trying all the tricky processes that i can imagine, but until now i have no ideia how to solve the problem...
