Anylogic: How to execute a downtime for only some workers of a same resourcePool

I have to model a task in which in a simplified example two workers do some work on queue of objects they have. but their work shifts may differ and my model should support this.

Is there any way for doing this simply that each unit of a same resource pool has different work schedule?

I tried a self developed solution in which I used two separate resource pools each one has a capacity of one, and assigned both resource pools to the service block. but the problem is that output rate of the new configuration is less than when using a single resource pool of capacity two.

In the system with on resource pool as shown in below image, two workers are working simultaneously on two different parts and after 350 time units 5 agents has passed the service block.

When using on resource pool with capacity two enter image description here model when one resource pool is used.

enter image description here output in this system

When using two resource pools with capacity one enter image description here model when two resource pools are used.

enter image description here output in new system

As it is shown in last image after 350 time units 3 agents has passed the service block when two resource pools are used. the other difference is number of parts which are processed simultaneously. when we use one resource pool the number is two and when we use two different resource pools only one part is processed at a time.

Does any one knows why this happens and is there any way for my main question or any solution for my own developed way to make the rate of process equal? a way in which when two resource pools are used the number parts processed simultaneously becomes two like the previous way.

Thanks in advance.

see, in your second model, you are telling the service that you need BOTH resources to work ONE agent... what you should do is click on the "add list" button that you are ignoring, and add both resourcePools as alternatives as you see in the following picture:

service

By doing this, instead of telling the service to use one unit of each resource pool, you are telling it to use either a unit from resourcePool OR (and this is a very important or) a unit from resourcePool1, in case no resource from resourcePool1 is available
