desplazamientos

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Human Resources shedules & shift cycles
Hi,

Can anyone offer a suggestion for "desplazamientos"?

Ciclos con desplazamientos individualizados
El desplazamiento nos permite asignar el mismo ciclo a diferentes trabajadores pero sin que coincidan.
En el ejemplo del ciclo Q5, tenemos 5 grupos de trabajadores y a cada grupo se le asigna el ciclo con un desplazamiento diferente (de 0, 1, 2, 3 ó 4 semanas).


My working translation so far is:
Cycles with individualised displacements
Displacement allows us to assign the same cycle to different workers but without them coinciding.
In the Q5 cycle example, we have 5 groups of workers and each group is assigned a cycle with a different displacements (of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks.

Regards

Looks like "cycles of individual length" might be more applicable.
Simon Davies (asker) May 24, 2013:
I think staggered relates more to the actuial time that staff start there shift, ie, some at 7, some at 730, some at 8. I'm looking for something that refers to shifts starting on different days or weeks so that there is no overlapping of shifts.

@ Wendy That looks like a very valid suggestion:

Staggered sounds good to me. Put it as an answer??
Wendy Streitparth May 22, 2013:
Staggering or staggered shifts?
Simon Davies (asker) May 22, 2013:
Sorry, just had a chat with client. desplazamiento refers to when different shift groups begin their respective shifts, in order to prevent all shift groups starting on the same day ( in the case of 4 on 4 off for example). Any ideas?

Shifts (groups) Thanks Lisa, but I already have "turnos" as shifts. It for an own buid shift management application. I need something that explains that the shifts can be rotated. "Rotation" perhaps?
Lisa McCarthy May 22, 2013:
Hi Simon Is this related to a SAP programme? Do we know what kind of company it is?
