    I would assume it’s because each hour an expensive machine is not being used is going to waste and if machine goes obsolete in 10 years and being replaced - there is a difference between it doing 30k hours of work and 90k. I’m not sure if that’s the reason, but that would make sense to me personally.

      Youre right in terms of using the machines. However, it doesn’t make any difference for the machine who operates it. If people operate it while doing their normal first shift like they do every week or if they operate it in the third shift, because they have it this week makes zero difference for the machine. Rotating shifts has absolutely zero benefits and destroy your workforce.
