# End of Shift Report Template

Use this template to close out a shift with a clear record of what happened, what was completed, and what the next shift needs to know.

## Template fields

- **Shift & reporting period:** Day shift, 07:00–15:00, 2026-07-12
- **Summary of shift:** Normal operations; one equipment fault logged and resolved
- **Tasks completed:** Inventory count, 3 scheduled inspections, client callback list cleared
- **Incidents / exceptions:** 10:42 — conveyor belt #2 jammed, cleared in 8 min, no injury
- **Key metrics:** Units processed: 1,240 · Downtime: 8 min · Calls answered: 34
- **Handoff notes for next shift:** Belt #2 still noisy — flagged for maintenance check
- **Prepared by / reviewed by:** Prepared: T. Nguyen — Reviewed: supervisor initials + time

## How to use it

- Write it at the end of the shift, while it's fresh.
- Separate "what happened" from "what the next shift needs to do."
- Keep metrics to the ones someone will actually read.

## Shift-close question

Could a manager who wasn't there understand what happened this shift in under a minute from this report alone?
