Shift Management
The Shift Management module offers comprehensive support for the production shifts
in power plants and process plants.
Your Benefits
■ Reliable, well-structured
information for all
employees at change
of shift
■ Easily accessible
operating data
■ Audit-proof distribution
and confirmation
of shift instructions
■ Targeted evaluations
and analyses
The Task
Shifts do not just require scheduling and
manning, the teams also need current information about the plant. Audit-proof documentation and distribution of information
from the respective shift are also required.
To ensure optimum communication between
production and maintenance the shift should
be seamlessly integrated in technical plant
management. Quite frequently though,
the shift program is not interfaced to the
maintenance system. The consequences:
no continuity of information, suffering
communication, the requisite information
reconciliation with non-operative organizational units does not take place and essential
information is lost.
It facilitates professional logging of shift operation, scheduling and manning the shifts and
also triggering and execution of routine shift
tasks. The operating data is presented in
a graphical visualization. Both manual or automatic registration is possible. During change
of shifts, well-structured and comprehensive
information is presented to the personnel.
It also allows you to create and distribute shift
instructions. Even confirmation by the recipient
of the respective instruction is supported.
Logged events can, of course, be evaluated
as required.
The Shift Management module requires less
effort for obtaining higher-quality information,
while simultaneously increasing the effectiveness of your organization. The system is available as state-of-the art Web-Application and
also in a traditional Client/Server configuration.
Flexible shift planning and reliable shift management with the
Shift Management module.
Our Solution
The Shift Management module is a solution developed from practical applications to support
shift operation. It was specially designed to
support the work of shift teams that operate
and monitor the production units in power
plants, providing reliable, current information
easily accessible online from all authorized
workstations.

Functional overview
The basis: catalogs and value ranges
Professional shift planning requires basic
data in the form of catalogs and value
ranges. Providing this basis for planning,
shift logging and evaluations is simple
with Shift Management: Just decide which
shift logs should be kept and structure
them according to production tasks.
Define the shift types (e. g. early shift,
late shift, night shift) for the site and
deter-mine the event classes (e. g. malfunction, switching operation). Define
the shift teams and assign them employees with the respective functions.
Shift deployment
This is where you decide which of the
defined shift teams to deploy for a set
planning period. Factors such as vacation
time and illness can also be taken into
account, i. e. you can replace certain
members of a team for certain days.
If, for example, the electrician of team
A is unavailable on a certain day, you
can assign the team the electrician
from another team for that day.
Shift log
Certain events, such as switching operations, malfunctions, setting values, etc.
are registered in the shift log during the
shifts. To that end, the shift clerk opens
a shift log page at the change of shift.
Information such as the shift type, start
and end, shift members present with
their functions and role, shift events
and remarks on shift change are recorded
on this page. Documents can be assigned
to the logged events for more detailed
description.
The event can also be assigned a fault
notification from the Plant Management
Maintenance Management module.

Shift Tasks
Routine maintenance measures and
inspections, which do not require substantial spare parts, extensive safety
precautions or external services, are
often executed by shift personnel.
It thus makes sense to document and
monitor these measures in the shift log.
Shift tasks can be defined and configured
in the shift master data. Besides their
description one can add triggering
information there, based on the shift
pattern (e.g. every morning shift).
The shift tasks are then automatically
created in the relevant shift log. They
can then be executed and con-trolled
on the basis of a status concept. Shift
tasks can also be created manually per
shift, if necessary.
Evaluations
The Shift Management module’s clear
structure allows you to make evaluations
as needed at any time, regardless of
whether these concern one or more
shift logs.

Shift instructions
The Shift Management module allows you
to enter and manage general work instructions as well as specific instructions for
the current situation without any great
effort. Instructions can be distributed to
the recipients according to their functions.
Acknowledgement is confirmed by the
receiving employee and the system
reports this back to the sender adding
the respective date and time. Shift
instructions may also be assigned
additional files.
Integrating effect
Interfacing the Shift Management with
the DCS will additionally allow you to
■ import signal values (analog or digital)
to the shift log and graphically visualize
them.
■ have the corresponding events automatically entered into the shift log as
the system status changes (e.g. pump
on, flame off).
