Generating Acceptable Shift-working Schedules

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1988
When a factory operates a shift system of working, the work patterns are usually laid down at the start and adhered to for long periods. In this case study, small out-stations with frequent changes in manning require the frequent generation of new schedules.

Shifting Hours: Unstable Work Scheduling Practices

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Community Development Research Brief Series, 2022
Stable work schedules are a key component of job quality and of supporting a thriving labor force. Stable scheduling practices are associated with improved job attachment, lower turnover, and higher revenues.i On the other hand, employer-initiated unstable scheduling practices have been shown to destabilize workers’ finances, sleep, caregiving ...

AN INTEGRATED WORK SHIFT SCHEDULING SYSTEM

Decision Sciences, 1976
ABSTRACTAn integrated work shift scheduling system is developed and applied in the scheduling of 2600 telephone operators in 43 locations of the General Telephone Company of California. The system involves the forecasting of calls on a half‐hourly basis, the conversion to operator requirements, the scheduling of tours by a heuristic algorithm, the ...

Parents' Family Time and Work Schedules: The Split‐Shift Schedule in Spain

Journal of Marriage and Family, 2015
This study used data on couples from the 2003 Spanish Time Use Survey (N = 1,416) to analyze how work schedules are associated with family, couple, parent–child, and non‐family leisure activities. Spain is clearly an interesting case for the institutionalized split‐shift schedule, a long lunch break rooted in the traditional siesta that splits the ...

Shift Work and Work to Family Fit: Does Schedule Control Matter?

Journal of Family and Economic Issues, 2012
We used the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce to investigate the effects of shift work on individuals. We investigated if shift workers would have poorer work to family fit than workers with regular day schedules or flexible schedules. We also investigated if control of work schedule would moderate the possible negative effects of shift ...

Effects of shift work schedules, compensatory sleep, and work–family conflict on fatigue of shift‐working nurses in Chinese intensive care units

Nursing in Critical Care, 2023
AbstractBackgroundShift work is inevitable for nurses in intensive care units. Various studies explored nurses' fatigue in multiple hospital wards. However, few studies focused on fatigue among nurses in intensive care units.AimsTo determine the association between shift work schedules, compensatory sleep, work–family conflict, and fatigue of shift ...

Multiobjective Dynamic-Guiding PSO for Optimizing Work Shift Schedules

Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2018
AbstractWork shift system is commonly used in construction projects to meet project deadlines. However, evening and night shifts raise the risk of adverse events and thus must be used to the minimu...

Circadian principles and design of rotating shift work schedules

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1986
Circadian rhythms may be disrupted when shift workers rotate from one work schedule to another. It has been suggested that in order to minimize the time needed to readjust circadian rhythms to a new work schedule the work time of shift workers should be rotated in a delaying rather than an advancing direction.

Fatigue and the Shiftworker: Firefighters Working on a Rotating Shift Schedule

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1994
Fatigue has often been viewed as a simple variable that is positively correlated with time on task in the workplace and is produced mainly by physical activity. However, shiftwork researchers have demonstrated time-of-day differences for variables including sleepiness and mood, thereby challenging this notion of fatigue. Using a within-subjects design,

Innovative working schedule: introducing one short nap during the night shift

Ergonomics, 2001
In order to test the possible long-term effects of the implementation of a short nap during night shifts, an experiment was conducted over a period of 1 year with 12 volunteer shiftworkers operating in an industrial plant. They were authorized, under certain conditions, to use individual sleeping areas, for a maximum of 1 hour, between 23h30 and 3h30 ...
