Organisations attending previous seminars include: Coors, Glasgow CC, Kalmar, Croda Adhesives, Heinz, Merton Borough, Man, Martin-Baker, NIID, to name a few.

If your workload is fairly consistent throughout the year, or if you require the same staffing levels at all time, then we term that as 'flat staffing' and the shift patterns for that type of scenario are available for you to purchase below.
If your workload is irregular in nature so that you need different staffing levels through the day or the week, or if your workload is seasonal, then we provide a bespoke service to create the right shift pattern for your workload. Perhaps you have Annual Shutdowns, or different staffing levels on Public Holidays. Whatever constraints or workload variations you have, we will find a unique shift pattern designed to minimise any wastage of Human Resources. Consultancy Details.

    SAMPLE PRINTOUT OF SHIFT PATTERNS


    So that you can see what format the shift patterns are in, we have produced a sample as a Acrobat pdf file. Example of Shift Patterns The shift patterns on the CD's are in Excel and this example shows a variation of the traditional 4on-4off shift pattern. This version extends the break period after the 4 Night shifts to 120 hours, and this balances out the rest periods between sets of shifts. The CD's contain hundreds of other shift patterns set up for immediate use.
    In addition to the shift pattern itself, there are numerous calculations carried out on the shift data, these include the number of shifts and hours each individual works, the average weekly hours, and how many weekends are worked in the year.
