abstract="The performances of two different shift work systems were assessed in a resistor manufacturing company over a period of 13 months. At first, the existing rotating-shift system was evaluated; the yield and productivity were found to be significantly affected by shift and working day factors (p p p less than  0.01. In summary, the fixed-shift system was found to be superior to the rotating-shift system in many aspects. A few months after implementing the fixed-shift system, the company deciced to return to the rotating-shift system due to the high turnovers involved in the night-shift workers. The work shift system design implication is also discussed.<p />",
