What is Shift?
Shift
Divide the day into several groups and work alternately.
What it means
Shifts are a method of dividing people into groups to keep equipment running longer. By dividing the work into a day shift and a night shift, you can work twice a day with the same equipment.
When groups change, it becomes important to pass on what the previous group saw to the next group. Divide production output and defects into groups.
At the pen factory
From the 20th day, the day shift (09:00~18:00) and the night shift (22:00~06:00 the next day) work on the same assembly machine.
Why it matters
When we break it down into groups, we see something like “there are a lot of delinquents in the night group.”
