Currently the Work Queue Sets are limited only by Plant, however much of the time spares can be a mix of onshore and offshore locations depending on how close the teams need access to the stock, also due to the set up of maintenance / and the engineering teams within BP it is notoriously difficult for an Engineer to see exactly what materials are for / used by his her team.
We've used things like filter for materials by Manufacturer etc. in the past but this means that some materials always get left out... Earlier this year BP took on the task to expand out three of its main MRP Controllers (1CR - Critical Spares) Operating Spares (1OS) and Consumables (1CN) and to expand these out further into Disciplines (Cranes, Electrical, Instrumentation, Mechanical, Rotating Equipment, etc) - Disciplines are picked up from the MAIN WORK CENTRE on the BOM - and mapped accordingly (Critical Operating and Consumables for each discipline)
We came up with the idea that this would be specifically useful if we could "Limit the Data on Work queues" (Limit by Groups in Column 1 of the table below) by discipline rather than by Plant..
What this would mean is that without having to create 12x new work queues for each of the 13 Priority = 1, Work Queues (a total of 156 work queues!) we could keep the appearance of the work queue screen tidy and instruct people to simply limit the data by their chosen discipline and work through what they need to work through that day... Therefore increasing likelihood of users engagement with the system.
