We moved to a 4 shift operation over 10 years ago and it was one of the best moves we did. It helped reduce absenteeism and allowed us to maximize our capacity. Our 4 shift schedule is outlined below.
Su, Mo, Tu
Team A (7 am – 7 pm)
Team B (7 pm – 7 am)
We, Th, Fr
Team C (7 am – 7 pm)
Team D (7 pm – 7 am)
Every other Saturday Team A/Team B works. The other Saturday Team C/Team D works.
The key to a successful implementation from the traditional 3 shfit/5 day schedule was to take some time to explain reasons for the move and then allow everyone to vote on 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices. We only had a few people who had to take their 2nd choice and none for their 3rd choice.
Good Luck.
Best Regards,
Team 1 Plastics, Inc.
