Shift Planning and Manpower Requirement
This has to be done based on manpower required against each operation, staggered day off, shift rotation, etc., considering there is no ready-made shift roster available.
Basically, for every 5 employees to manage the off-cover, 7 employees will be required. 5 employees will provide 5 x 5 = 25 man-days, whereas the organization needs 5 x 7 = 35 man-days for 24 x 7 operations. Therefore, there is a shortfall of 35 - 25 = 10 man-days. 1 person equals 5 man-days in a week, and 10 man-days equal 10/5 = 2 extra persons will be required.
Moreover, there will be a need for leave cover that has to be considered.
