Shift is an employment practice designed to make use of, or provide service across, all 24 hours of the clock each day of the week.

The practice typically sees the day divided into "shifts", set periods of time during which different groups of workers take up their posts.

The term "shift " includes both long-term night shifts and work schedules in which employees change or rotate shifts.

SHIFT LOG BOOK – Problems with the current shift log book

A typical logbook from one of the thermal plants in India.

It is very difficult to search for the actions taken on an any event or alarm prior than 2-3 weeks.

The problem is he needs lot of time to scan through all the pages back, manually.

Moreover there is no workflow in this kind of manually maintained log book.

This kind of log book does not suggest or provide any analysis which could lead to process optimization.
