A structured business process that I find to be inefficient is the three-shift scheduling system at my current employer, N.D. We work eight hours a day and receive two paid fifteen-minute breaks and one paid twenty-minute lunch. This process is poor because it does not allow for shifts to effectively communicate during shift changes. For example, if the plant were to run out of assembly parts for a specific job (a common occurrence in JIT manufacturing) during the final ten minutes of third shift. It is highly unlikely that the third shift production workers would pass that information onto first shift production workers. This causes downtime because the new shift will begin the day searching for the missing parts instead of immediately starting to change-over to the next job. A typical change-over can last anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour
