Examples

“It is generally believed that when rotating shifts are necessary the rotation should move⟳ clockwise (that is, day shift first, then swing⟳ shift, then graveyard shift, then back to day shift, and so on)”

“The problem is not usually associated with swing⟳ shift operation because the duties are balanced over time. When operators remain⟳ on one shift it is common for one shift to complain⟳ another has less to do.”
