Those passing by, come in and leave a message! Are there many plants engaged in chemical production that operate on a three-shift, two-shift basis? ?

Are there many plants engaged in chemical production that operate on a three-shift, two-shift basis? The company is currently operating on a four-shift, three-shift schedule, but we’re considering switching to a three-shift, two-shift schedule. I’d like to get an idea of the current market situation. Those who happen to be reading this, please leave a comment. Thank you!
I’ve never heard of such a thing; the working hours in this case would far exceed 40 hours per week. The situation during the initial construction phase of the facility is not included.
State-owned enterprises operate on a four-shift two-turn system, while private enterprises mostly use a four-shift three-turn system; the four-shift two-turn system is less common.
With four shifts and three shifts per shift, it is recommended to change this to four shifts and two shifts per shift, maintaining the same working hours. If we switch to three shifts and two shifts per shift, will that mean reducing the number of employees or merging shifts? ? ?
All are four shifts with two shifts per day; in private enterprises, it’s more common to have four shifts with three shifts per day, while four shifts with two shifts per day are less common
Operating three shifts with two teams is not in compliance with labor law, and it is likely to cause many problems due to this violation.
Quite a few. We have always operated on a three-shift system with two shifts per day. In the state-owned enterprises I’ve worked with, it’s usually a four-shift system with three shifts per day, while in private companies the three-shift system is more common
The most reasonable operating pattern is four shifts with three rotations or four shifts with two rotations, depending on the intensity of work and the level of risk. In situations where the risk is high, it’s better to use four shifts with three rotations; whereas in cases where the risk is low and the work involves mainly physical labor, four shifts with two rotations is preferable, as this allows workers to have more time for rest and to do personal matters while still ensuring sufficient working hours. As for four shifts with two rotations, it isn’t unheard of, but it’s not common either, especially in private enterprises and small chemical factories, which tend to adopt this approach. I’ve encountered many such cases
To be honest, this is a challenge for the employees. We used to have a four-shift, three-shift rotation system, but it was changed to a three-shift, two-shift system; the workers get very tired and can’t handle it, and the equipment is prone to problems as well – people simply can’t keep up! It’s been changed back now; if you’re in a management position, use it with caution!
We are currently on a four-shift, two-shift system in a state-owned enterprise
