work in shifts

Hi,

day shift :
from 6:00 to 12:00
13:00 to 18:00

night shift:
from 1:00 to 6:00
18:00 to 0:00

suppose you are using one calendar for day shift and another for night shift

in the option-> calendar, change hours per day to 11

Hi ,

In change working time Dialog Box For Standard (project calander) If i put my input as 6:00AM to 12:00PM , 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM , 6:00 PM to 12:00AM , 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

I am getting message as "start of shift must be later than end of previous shift"

AS per above timing our plant works , why am i unable to change as per above format.

Hi,
in this dialog box, the time is only for one day (0:00 to 24:00).
the time you input spans two days (e.g. day 16AUG is selected but the time you input start 16AUG 6:00 am end 17AUG 6:00am)
How can MSP deal with it.

it seems that you are using only one calendar (standard) for this two shifts. It does not make sense, because you can not assign that some activities is night shift, others day shift.
these is no difference to one shift 22hours/day.

I suggest you creat two calendars one for day shift, one for night shift. and input time as mentioned in my previous post

Hi Zhang ,

Thanks for the insight , that MSP is actually dealing for one day . Now i understand.

But isnt there some other way , to club those timing in one calander so as to reflect actualy way that our plant is working.

I tried putting 1:00 AM to 6:00 AM , 6:00 AM to 12:00PM , 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM , 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM . But still it didnt work . i guess i will have to split into two as you suggested.

thanks,

Hi zhang ,

now i got it . I put timing as 1:00 AM to 12:00 PM . 1:00 PM to 11:59 PM.

This time it worked .

now one more question , why my computer is not accepting time in format of eg 18:00 hrs or 20:00 hrs . it is automatically changing to 6:00 PM or 8:00 PM.

Any suggestion on that , as to how to change it ?

Hi,
For the time format,it’s controled by windows.
try ’control panel’-> ’date and time’ to change the setting

Thanks Zhang ,

it worked.
