Depending on the planning scenario in which your company operates, you can choose between planning by needs or planning by rotating shifts. Know here which one best suits your business.
👉 Planning by needs:
- It is more spontaneous.
- It contemplates more changing work scenarios, such as those that occur in the hospitality industry.
- It usually arises from mismatches and unexpected absences that the company needs to cover.
- It has a short-term view of time.
- It is applied when we know how many workers we need in each shift, in each location and in each position.
- It informs these needs through templates in open shifts and the magic button assigns these shifts to employees, depending on the shift, positions and needs they have.
- Shifts are also assigned fairly.
👉 Planning by rotating shifts or sequences:
- It is more long-term.
- It contemplates more stable work scenarios, such as those that occur in factories.
- Companies that must be in operation almost 24 hours a day use it.
- It assigns shifts through schedules or sequences, where workers have a rotation that is repeated.
- These rotations can be left open, without a end date or with a finalization date.
