Hi,

 

thanks for sharing a good inofrmation.

 

Hmmmnn "working in longer shifts reduces the overall productivity" by a factor of 0.1?...that's interesting...

 

I think there's a whole "project" to consider to before I could come up with the 0.1 factor..or whether longer shifts "really" reduces or increases productivity..... ;-)

 

regards,

the Rock

Jiahd:

Reference paper is available on AACEI's website - "Predecting Productivity" by James M Neil and Lee E Knack.

As per the author, working in longer shifts reduces the overall productivity. An adjustment factor of 0.1 is required if working on 7 days / 8 Hours or 6 days / 9 hours or 5 days / 10 hours.

I hope this could help you.

Best Regards
