From their research into shift work they identified two main types:
Rapid Rotation: Change shift times regularly
Slow Rotation: Change shift times every few weeks/monthly
It takes most people a week to adjust to a new sleep/wake cycle; so a rapid rotation would leave the worker is a constant state of disruption. However this may be better than permanantly altering a person's circadium rhythm, which a slow rotation may do.
