Strategic Schedule Design™ Seminar

This valuable training service explores a critical root-cause concern within all round-the-clock enterprises, namely, the challenge of designing and implementing efficient, effective and attractive shift schedules. Unlike daytime operations, the scheduling of work hours (and time capacity) in 24-hour and 7-day industries is a complex and demanding task.

Learn the Fundamentals

Shift schedule decisions must address a wide range of factors, including capacity/demand requirements, labor laws and associated personnel costs, employee productivity and safety goals, equipment maintenance schedules and even communication concerns. The wrong shift schedule solution for your organization can result in lost capacity, poor employee morale, higher operating costs and lower rates of productivity, quality, and safety. Learning the fundamental principles of Strategic Schedule Design™ will enable your company to avoid the pitfalls of traditional schedule design efforts.

Design Successful Shift Schedules

Intended for organizational leaders as well as joint union/management teams, the Strategic Schedule Design™ Seminar presents a proven procedure for: evaluating current shift schedules; identifying the business-driven criteria (known as Strategic Scheduling Parameters) for shift schedule designs at a specific worksite; and selecting effective and attractive shift schedules that match an organization's business framework. Business and operational requirements are explored in detail, using case studies of successful shift schedule optimization efforts. Additionally, a specific methodology for selecting shift schedules that enhances operational effectiveness, improves human performance and increases employee safety, health, quality-of-life and morale is presented. Seminar participants also explore a wide range of alternative shift schedules, and examine the impact of different shift schedule options on their current operations.
