How Do You Rotate Security Guards Between Night and Day Shifts? Looking for Roster Ideas

sandee1983
I want to rotate S/Gs every month from night shift to day shift. Can anyone send me a roster or scenario?

Thanks in advance.

If there are three shifts, then the 1st shift guard next month will be in the 3rd shift, the 2nd shift guard next month will be in the 1st shift, and the 3rd shift guard will come in the 2nd shift.

Weekly Shift Rotation

Rotation is not done monthly; actually, rotation should be done weekly. When you have 3 shifts—say A shift, B shift, and C shift—then the shift change is done. C shift moves to B shift, B shift to A shift, and A shift to C shift. Likewise, the change continues.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Let me inform you that the guards' rotation depends on the shift pattern, i.e., whether you are following a 3-shift system or a 2-shift system. If there is a 3-shift system, then you can create a roster providing everyone a weekly off. If it is a 2-shift system, then the rotation can be made every 15 days.

I appreciate Mr. Shaikh Abedeen's effort. However, the example is not complete as the duties for the reliever are not correctly accounted for. Mr. Ravichandran D, at [Phone Number Removed For Privacy Reasons], rectified that particular shortcoming with his wonderful example, which shows the total number of different shifts. This is likely to ensure that inadvertent errors do not crop up while drawing up the duty chart. I suggest everyone use Mr. Ravichandran's example.

Dear Expert Seniors,

I am kindly looking for your ideas, notions, and a sample format for creating an 8-hour weekly roster for 13 security personnel. I have 3 posts available, with the morning shift running from 0600 to 1400, the afternoon shift from 1400 to 2200, and the night shift from 2200 to 0600 hours. The morning shift should have 4 personnel, the afternoon shift 4 personnel, and the night shift 3 personnel daily. I am assigned to the morning shift along with 3 others, making a total of 4. Despite my efforts, I have struggled to create the roster, and my manager keeps reprimanding me for it. Can any expert scheduler help me, please?

I should have a day off every Friday after 6 days, and the rotation should apply to the other security personnel as well. I am facing a difficult time managing this rotation. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I will provide the location names for deployment: ECP-1, ECP-2, and CCTV. For the morning shift, ECP-1, ECP-2, and CCTV will each have 3 security personnel deployed. I will be in charge overall and have no assigned post during the morning shift.

During the afternoon shift, there should be 4 security guards deployed to ECP-1, ECP-2, ECP-3, and CCTV respectively. For the overnight shift, ECP-1, ECP-2, and CCTV require 3 security personnel each night. I am seeking help in assigning the remaining 2 personnel. I would appreciate your assistance in creating the roster. Thank you to anyone who can help.

For morning:

Kiran (myself) - no post

Albert (ECP-1)

Romel (ECP-2)

Jiwan (CCTV)

Afternoon Shift:

Robert (ECP-1)

Patrick (ECP-2)

Bista (ECP-3)

Lama (CCTV)

Overnight Shift:

Chimeng (ECP-1)

Durga (ECP-2)

Austin (CCTV)

I still have 2 personnel left; where and how should I assign them? Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please create a roster for me if you can. Thank you.
