Hello,
I have data with following structure -

123456 | purchasing | 10-03-2021 12:08:56 | 8 |
123456 | storing | 10-03-2021 20:08:56 | 24 |

Requirement : Select a single "primary_key" in the slicer and you should see something like this -

See if this works.
Create a measure for each step with the equivalent to the following:
Duration =
SUM('Table'[task_duration (hr)])
Purchasing =
"Purchasing Duration" & UNICHAR ( 10 ) & "="
& CALCULATE ( [Duration], 'Table'[task_name] = "Purchasing" ) & " hrs"
Create the visual by inserting the arrow shaped object under Insert / Shapes in the ribbon
Add a card visual overlaying each arrow with it's corresponding measure. Add the slicer and you get:
