Brain Freeze

Smart people of Crossfire - this needs doing tonight it's really simple but my minds stopped working, help me out.

There's 3 shifts, one running Sunday - Thursday (FTLB), one running Tuesday - Saturday (FTLA) & 1 running Friday - Monday (PTLC).

There's 3 jobs that need doing (Slam 1, Slam 2, Waterspider)- but they're quote monotomous / laboreous so wanna rota it each week to give people a rest. But I can't seem to come up with anything insanely simple - it all gets a bit messy which kinda negates the point.

Obviously there's an overlap across the 3 shifts - so they'll always be 3 doing these tasks with 1 doing something else. So the overlap needs factoring in (i.e. 2 x 1 shift slam / 1x another shift waterspider then alternate).

Any suggestions? My head wants to sleep ~/

Ok so we've 3 jobs that need filling.

- Slam 1
- Slam 2
- Waterspider

(the names of the jobs are irrelevant)

We have 6 people trained to do them. These 6 people work different shifts.

There's

2 people working Sunday - Thursday (known as FTLB)
2 people working Tuesday - Saturday (known as FTLA)
2 people working Friday - Monday (known as PTLC)

Obviously these 3 shifts overlap (on Monday there's people from PTLC & FTLB, on Tuesday FTLB & FTLA etc) - so they'll always be 4 people trained to do the job on shift.

Now the job itself is boring as hell (the waterspider is boring the other 2 ok) - so we wanna alternate who does it each week to give some variety.

We need to come up with a simple rota that can be applied each week so that people always switch.

It should be simple but I can't get it to align at this hour ~/

Sorry, I still just can't understand what you are asking. With 6 person, 3 shifts, np. But apparently you got something different thingie going on, going to read again at morningn.
Parent
I think you are so caught up in this that you are complicating things for us and yourself.
Simply right down 3 weeks worth of work, fill in who is working every which job every day. You will start to see things more clearly again.


EDIT: did it for you, check below

ah don't think we've though this through - although there's 4 people on at any one time - we only have 3 jobs to fill.

So applying

1a - A
1b - B
2a - C
2b - A
3a - B
3b - C

There's people doing the same job at the same time :v
Parent
