Ideas for making a successful Handover Board for seamless management of teams working in shifts.
- Communicate in a visual way with key information easily accessibly, at a glance.
- Reflect your own workplace and shift pattern. In other words, you decide how your shift board works. Therefore, for a successful handover board, take a custom approach.
- Use visual reference points. For instance, add space for photos of the operators working the current shift. Likewise, the next shift. Further ideas include: showing top 5 issues, planned work, equipment status. In addition, standards.
- Assign responsibility. For example, mark and update machine operators for different shift patterns. This is effective because it is immediately clear who is responsible for each machine/process. Furthermore, it creates seamless communication.
- A successful shift handover board shows progress in real time. As a result, display real time updates quickly and easily on your shift board. Above all, makes key information visible to all, at a glance. For example, make dry wipe updates, use document holders and add magnetic labels or status indicators.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
