BAQ for Operations to Work on

Looking to make a BAQ/Dashboard for shop supervisors to have a better understanding of what they should be working on.
We are a custom job shop and many of our jobs include sub-assemblies.
Usually the header level assembly (0) has 2 operations (10 &20)- The first operation is tear down mechanical work. The second operation is put it back together mechanical work.
In-between operation 10 and 20, we work on the sub-assemblies. Most of these sub-assemblies can be worked on in sync.
I have gotten pretty far with the previous operation complete but still having trouble with that Asm 0 op 20 showing ready to work before all sub-assemblies are complete.
Any Ideas?

Show us what you have so far. I bet we can find a solution. My first step would be to try out the Priority Dispatch Report to see if that canned report covers what you need.

This is what I have so far. It works for 70% of what we need.
There is a calculated material status, previous operation complete, and then a ready to work which looks at both fields and tells the supervisors what they should be working on.

Hopefully this helps in terms of a visualisation, we redeveloped our E10 dashboard when upgrading to Kinetic.

This might be better addressed by changing the way you create your Jobs. Instead of having the tear down on the 0 level, maybe the lowest assembly can have the tear down operation and the 0 level only have the put back together operation. That way you could use the Work Queue to see what needs to be worked on next.

I replicated the Work Queue in a dashboard at my old job. I used a MIN on the assembly table to find the lowest operation that was not complete and marked them with a 0. All other operations were marked with a 1. I could then filter the dashboard for what could currently be worked on and what was “next”.

There is a related operation field on the job assembly. Try entering op 20 as the related operation on your assemblies. If the related operation on your assemblies is 0, Epicor’s scheduling logic assumes the subassembly can be started right away, but you want to start with Asm 0 op 10, then work on the subassemblies, then Asm 0 op 20. I believe with the related operation set to 20, Epicor would see that the assemblies need to be finished before op 20 can start. You could see if it reflects that way in the Epicor schedule, and then if so, you could use Work Queue or build that logic into your dashboard.

After reviewing, the work queue is exactly what we need. I think doing a dashboard with the work queue BAQ will work for us.
What is the query would classify an operation to be in the “current” section as opposed to the “all” section.
Running the query I have “all” but looks like current would be exactly what we are needing just not sure how the filters are determining that.

I really like this option as well. Moving forward, we are planning to use this when engineering our jobs.
