Manufacturing
plants, refineries, factories and other businesses that operate 24
hours a day typically use rotating shift schedules to schedule
their workers to 8 hour shifts, 10 hour shifts, 12 hour shifts or
a combination of shifts to meet their staffing needs.
Our Series 3
Template Schedulers can create your
24/7/365 manufacturing plant schedules for up to 52 weeks
using either fixed or rotating shifts and either fixed or rotating
days off. You can use 8 hour shifts, 12 hour shifts, or a
combination of shift lengths to match your labor supply to your
labor demand. You can even use a combination of 8 and 12 hour
shifts to schedule your people to work 4 days and 40 hours a week
which usually matches your staffing needs better than using 10
hour shifts to achieve a 4 day workweek for your employees.
The schedulers
can use any shift pattern that you can imagine. And if you need
help imagining shift patterns, we offer hundreds of 8, 10 and 12
hour schedules covering 1, 2 and 3 shifts a day for 5, 6 and 7
days a week.

In addition, for a modest fee, we will create a custom schedule
that exactly fits your staffing needs.

Once you have
established your schedule and work patterns, individual employee
schedules can be easily adjusted to accommodate employee
availability and your staffing needs. Vacation scheduling is a
snap and you can easily schedule people to cover the vacated
shifts. The program keeps track of the number of people scheduled
for each shift and will alert you when vacations and other
employee absences drops shift staffing below a critical level. The
overtime scheduling feature keeps track of the number of overtime
hours worked by each employee and will tell you which employees
have the fewest overtime hours and which ones are available for an
extra shift each day.
