Abstract
In today's performance-oriented industrial environment, demands for consistent, reliable, and profitable service are dictating that operations, maintenance, and support organizations be staffed around the clock. In conjunction, regulatory and industry standards have placed a greater emphasis on continuous employee training, performance accountability, and professional development programs. These expanded scopes present enormous administrative challenges for management.In meeting these challenges, the application of a rotational shift comprised of five to six teams of workers appears to be most promising. This rotational concept is not new, having been successfully practiced for years at numerous commercial nuclear facilities. This concept is growing even more popular because it provides a viable option to satisfy and exceed operational and developmental demands with marginal budgetary impact.
