    Jiahd:

    Reference paper is available on AACEI's website - "Predecting Productivity" by James M Neil and Lee E Knack.

    As per the author, working in longer shifts reduces the overall productivity. An adjustment factor of 0.1 is required if working on 7 days / 8 Hours or 6 days / 9 hours or 5 days / 10 hours.

    I hope this could help you.

    Best Regards

    thanks for sharing a good inofrmation.

     

    Hmmmnn "working in longer shifts reduces the overall productivity" by a factor of 0.1?...that's interesting...

     

    I think there's a whole "project" to consider to before I could come up with the 0.1 factor..or whether longer shifts "really" reduces or increases productivity..... ;-)

     

    regards,
