Conclusion

Launching the Shift Pattern Design environment...

Entering the shift. Here I am using the 24 hour - format, that is what I am used to, but the display option is set to 12 hour format...

Having a 12 hour night shift following the 12 hour day shift delivers a welcome 24 hour break without having to schedule a regular day off.

In a spoken language you might say: "I want two - 12 hour day shifts followed by two 12 hour night shifts followed by 4 days off."

Applying the rotation feature completes the shift pattern...

This view is sometimes known as the Manager's View

the display shows the average weekly hours to be 42 hours a week

It may be worth checking the shift pattern profile to see how it delivers the staff supply...

Remember what I said about a sequence based shift pattern. Here the complete rotation cycle is 8 days before repeating - not 7 days!

This shift pattern reduces fatigue by over 7% compared to the traditional 4 on 4 off that only swap shifts between days off...
