Issue 8: Shift handover

Shift handover is a critical activity with a direct impact on production and safety. It is part of shift changeover, where outgoing and incoming personnel communicate to exchange task-relevant information; therefore, maintaining continuity between shifts is important. Poor shift handover is known to cause operation problems such as plant upsets, unplanned shutdowns and product reworks, which can result in considerable revenue loss.
