Afternoon shift is the one that we have issues filling. We are currently contemplating making it a 10hr M-Th shift with OT on Fridays (no Saturdays) to see if we can encourage some people to jump to this shift. Granted it will create 2 hrs overlap with our midnight shift but we can make this product...

We covered all the issues as well. In theory it makes good sense but I'm really hoping someone comes forward with real life experience.

Has anyone ever looked into or had any experience with Velocity Scheduling? Its focus is around constraints and lowering WIP opposed to efficiencies to improve on throughput. We are investigating it but I hoped someone might have some first hand experience they could share.
