COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

Multishift operations deliver over four times the return on assets than an operation running only one shift. The ability to spread fixed costs over a greater production volume can significantly cut unit costs. With today's global competitive environment forcing costs lower and lower, continuous operation has become a necessity in many industries. Some companies use shifts to balance fluctuations in demand for products and services, adding and reducing shifts as needed. Others employ complex processing technology that requires continuous operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

 

Even if you have a Round-The-Clock operation, chances are your schedules are filled with hidden costs that are draining away millions of dollars each year. In either case, there’s a better way: 24-hour-a-day “Best Practice” scheduling that boosts productivity, transforms costs into profits and ensures employee safety and morale. This course will show you how to achieve that by addressing the needs of contemporary businesses and their operations. Further, this course will show you how to develop a world-class operation and achieve outstanding gains in Key Performance Indicators (KPI) within a reasonable time frame. Well known tools and techniques will be covered in depth to assist focus on productivity through culture, processes, communications and commitment. 

 

In this course, we will show you how shift schedules can be balanced and tailored for maximum employee benefits, company advantage and compliance with health and safety needs.
