Shift Handover Report
Communicate production status, problems, and priorities between outgoing and incoming shifts.
About This Template
The Shift Handover Report is critical for maintaining production continuity across shift changes in 24/7 manufacturing operations. This template ensures that important information about production status, equipment issues, quality problems, safety concerns, and upcoming priorities is effectively communicated from the outgoing to incoming shift. Poor shift handovers lead to repeated problems, safety incidents, and lost production time. The structured handover format prevents information loss and ensures the incoming shift can hit the ground running with full awareness of the current situation, ongoing issues, and priorities.
