Add or Edit Production Shifts

When using Schedule Production, you can organize your production in more detail by assigning the production of specific components to different shifts. If you're making cakes for example, you might have a mixing shift, a baking shift and a decorating/finishing shift. You could then divide up your recipe stages accordingly: Mixing would make the batter, baking would bake it into cakes, and Finishing would decorate and package the cake into a finished product.

The number and names of your shifts is completely up to you, you can customize them to reflect your production system in FlexiBake. To add a new shift, or edit an existing one, please follow these steps:
