The last edit to this post was made by superme84 on 2019-1-28 at 22:37. There are 9 people in charge of the instrumentation work (including one team leader); all of them work regular 8-hour shifts during the day. Two technicians are on duty each week – they work during the day but stay at home to answer calls at night; if something arises, the dispatcher can call them directly to the factory. However, this arrangement doesn’t sit well with the instrumentation workers, as they are often called back to the factory as soon as they get home. Being on duty on such a schedule takes a toll on their mental health, as they’re constantly worried that the phone might ring. Now we’re considering switching to a on-site duty system, but we’re worried about not having enough staff. I was wondering if anyone has any good systems that we could use as a reference:dizzy:.

This post was last edited by zyzs on 2009-11-8 at 21:14: 1 shift leader for the day shift, with 2 people per other shift, for a total of 4 shifts. Day shift – paid for half a day; night shift – after finishing the night shift – rest (a cycle of 4 days).

Our team size is the same as the original poster’s – 9 people – and we use the most conventional setup: 4 shifts with 3 rotations per shift. The shift leader works the day shift and is on duty from Monday to Friday, while the other two people form one shift, with an eight-day cycle

One person works shift per night; the team leader does not work shifts, and it’s fine to take turns for the shifts – that’s how we do it.

Hehe, it still depends on the specific factory; ours is the same as the owner’s. There is no one on duty at night. .

It’s a small issue – the gauge isn’t allowed to be used at night; we can discuss it during the day!

It depends; if the maintenance workload in your factory isn’t very high, people can take turns on duty 24 hours a day, with a day off after finishing their shift

The production department is the top priority; things have to be done right away. Some tasks that could easily be handled tomorrow are forced to be completed at night. Moreover, the amount of work required for maintaining the instruments in our factory is enormous; we also need to calibrate them periodically. Even healthy instruments become faulty as soon as they are taken apart, repaired, and reinstalled. Not only is the workload extremely high, but this approach basically has no practical value. There are few people during the day, so it’s really hard to keep up.

It can be arranged according to the specific circumstances. If instrument failures are rare (for example, one failure occurs every 3-4 nights), then there is no need for shift work ; On the contrary, it is necessary to assign personnel on duty.

One team leader works the day shift, while the other 2 form 4 teams that work in shifts, with each shift lasting 8 hours
