The right ratio of total hours worked to the number of days off each week can
improve OEE performance, alertness and employee morale. But mangers typically don’t think about recovery time in terms of days off. The common
misconception is that employees who work 8-hour shifts, can work 6, 7, 8 or
even up to 20 days in a row. This is more than just a morale killer or productivity
buster, this can be unhealthy and safe.

The realities of today’s demands often require 44, 48 and even upwards of 52-
hours of work each week from employees. Employees who work a lot of
overtime still need two or more days off each week to recover physically and
emotionally. Not only is the it the right thing to do, but by not doing it this can
cost you millions of dollars.
