I need to add a new logic to my model. When M10 completes production and transportation, I need to check whether there are still items in the BUFFER. If there are, I need to process the products in the BUFFER first. My current approach is to set up a checking mechanism, but it is not working effectively.

If I understand the flow correctly, then items moved into the buffer (red) wait until a machine is available anyway (orange). So the logic you added (blue) is currently creating a duplicate task, likely messing up the processing order down the line.
All you need to do is to give token whose item is in the buffer priority when pulling a processor. Add a backorder strategy to the list that orders the pullers (tokens) by a label value. Set some default value for that value on all tokens (orange). If the item is moved to the buffer, increase that label (blue).
I have a question now. I think my vehicle vacancy rate is very high! Is there something wrong with my logic in dispatching vehicles? My current need is to solve the congestion problem of M10. So I have observed that maybe my call is not timely enough? So how can I improve it?
