INTRODUCTION

3. WHAT IS SHIFT CHANGE?
Shift change is a time when one group leaves and another
takes their place to continue generating value for your
organization. It's not about adding more work, but rather
taking care of necessary tasks in order so that production
doesn't grind to a halt - it can improve efficiency.

4. HOW TO DO AN EFFECTIVE HANDOVER
Removing hurdles at the end of the shift
(by crew/group leaving) that may cause
inefficiencies at the start of the shift (for
upcoming crew/group).
Providing accurate and actionable info so there
are no lost time and resources being allocated to
inefficient activities. This can usually be done
within the existing shift reporting structure as long
as reporting structure can be modified to capture
the necessary information.

The idea here is to ensure that the crew or workgroup leaving the
shift is setting up the upcoming shift for success. This includes:

EXAMPLES OF REMOVING HURDLES
AT THE START OF THE SHIFT
Designated parking
spots for the common
equipment so no time is
lost looking for the
equipment; this is
essentially important if
an operation has a large
fleet such as a mine and
no hot seating in place
between shifts
Fueling standard for
critical equipment
so that equipment
can add Value as
much as possible
Passing on the
necessary info such as
what the work
conditions are like and
what they may need at
the beginning and/or
during their shift; this
includes conversations
or consultations they
may need to have
before starting their
value-added work
Any equipment or gear
that is not
functional/down for
maintenance, so
resources are not
assigned to activities
requiring that
equipment.

6. The handover process is an
important one, and it's crucial to
involve people who will be doing the
switch over, and that needs careful
planning. If your company is looking
to improve its efficiency and reduce
costs by moving toward an electronic
system of record, do communicate
