What is a "Shift" in ManufApp?
A Shift in ManufApp refers to a scheduled block of working hours during which production activities and workforce attendance are tracked.
Manufacturing plants often operate in multiple shifts (like Day, Evening, or Night), and defining these in the system helps:
Align production data with shift timings
Monitor attendance and operator performance per shift
Schedule tasks and maintenance windows effectively
Generate shift-wise reports for output, efficiency, and downtime
Each shift includes a start time, end time, and optional break durations (like lunch). Shifts are essential for enabling real-time visibility and accountability in shop floor operations.
