The Shift Handover Playbook

How processing sites lose knowledge every swing, and what the good ones do about it.

  • The five places knowledge leaks. The crib-room handover, the back-pocket notebook, the whiteboard, the end-of-swing turnover, the departure — and which two you can never reconstruct.
  • What it costs, in language your GM understands. Repeat faults, diagnosis time, time to competence and supervisor admin — four numbers your site already measures.
  • Why the five-minute handover fails. Not laziness. Structure: the worst moment, unprompted, oral, no memory.
  • Seven habits of sites that keep what they know. None of them need software. All of them get easier with it.
  • A handover standard you can run next swing. Print it, take it to pre-start, agree it as a crew. Works on paper.
  • Five bars to demand from any software. Including ours. If a tool can't clear them, the notebook is genuinely better.

How processing sites lose knowledge every swing, and what the good ones do about it.

Who it is for

Written for the people who carry the handover.

Every part comes from real fixed plant shifts: the fault re-diagnosed at 2am because the fix from March was in someone's notebook, the follow-up that died at shift change, the operator whose twenty years walked out the gate with a resignation letter. It isn't a brochure. Everything in it works with a notebook and discipline — software optional.

Supervisors · Leading Hands

Run a tighter swing

Use the seven habits and the handover standard to lift the quality of every handover your crew gives and receives — without adding paperwork.

Superintendents

See the leaks across crews

Map the five leak points against your own site and find where knowledge is escaping between crews, departments and rosters.

Managers

Put a number on it

Repeat faults, diagnosis time, time to competence, supervisor admin. Four numbers you already have, read as knowledge loss instead of maintenance cost.

Beyond the playbook

When you're ready to see the software version of Part Six.

ShiftIntel is the handover standard, built into the phone in your crew's pocket: shift logs in plain language, follow-ups with owners, the Schedule 26 handover and the weekly report compiled from the records. Thirty days on your own site, your own data.
