The competitive advantages of 168 hour-a-week utilization of facilities and equipment, or providing seamless 24/7 customer service may seem obvious. But workload often fluctuates, creating pockets of inefficiency and overload, so that proportional staffing of 24/7 operations may be needed to maximize efficiency. Unlike machinery and equipment, people are not naturally designed to work at night; workforce optimization requires a sophisticated understanding of how to protect employee performance and morale, health and safety.
