Check cover for the shift
Compare the shift arrangements with attendance. See which department or work area needs a closer look instead of treating a site-wide headcount as the whole answer.

06 / People and the operation
Know who is on shift and where cover is needed.
Who was expected, who attended and which team were they working with? Bring staff, shift and attendance records together so supervisors can check whether the right areas have cover.
How this part connects
The team expected. The team on shift.
Start with the team and its shifts. Compare attendance with who was expected, then look at the work that needed doing.
Illustrative process.
Put a staffing question in context
If a line starts late or a job takes longer, look at staffing alongside machine stoppages and the work completed. Attendance is part of the explanation, not a measure of someone's performance.
Give supervisors a useful view
Bring the staff and attendance records for their teams together. Keep access tied to the manager's role, and let them return to the original entry when something needs checking.
