McDonald's-style crew scheduling for fence supply distribution: shift planning, availability management, 2-shift operations, break scheduling, cross-training matrix, and overtime controls. Use when planning staffing, managing shifts, or building scheduling features for the warehouse, counter, or delivery operations.
As H&J moves to the new warehouse, it will need to run 2 shifts. Currently scheduling is informal — everyone shows up at 7 and leaves when the work is done. This skill codifies shift management for a growing team.
PRODUCTION SHIFT: 7:00 AM — 3:30 PM (8 hrs + 30 min lunch)
COUNTER SHIFT: 7:30 AM — 5:00 PM (8 hrs + 30 min lunch, varies)
DELIVERY SHIFT: 7:00 AM — until complete (varies, avg 6 hrs)
SHIFT A (Morning): 6:00 AM — 2:30 PM
├── Production crew (4-6 workers)
