Coordinated Task Sequences and Time Table

Hello, here is my question

Items will have different weight that require one or two people to carry one item. Three shifts per day and I need to define logic while changing shift, such as store item from processor to storage, and turn off machine.

Attach model I tried to use perspective of operators, someone looks for task and if the task requires two people then find another operator for help.

But I don't know why it stuck. Do you have better solution for this question?

The reason this model gets stuck is that your query, WHERE value = Op, should be WHERE value = puller.Op. Label names in a query are assumed to belong to the value, rather than the puller, so you have to specify that you want to get the puller label Op.

As for how to model this situation, I made a demo model that shows one way to model from the operator's perspective, and still coordinate with other operators. This model doesn't have shifts in it, but it does have items that sometimes require two people. Otherwise, all operators carry single items.
