Abstract
The results of the study indicated a relationship between the worker’s psychomotor performance at a certain time of the work shift and the changes in the level of their fatigue. The performance is reflected in the production results, such as the decrease in the productivity and an increase in the number of defects. The results of the study made it possible to define a model (algorithm) of changes in the worker’s psychomotor performance. The developed model identifies the direction of the organisational changes in a production plant environment operating in the rotational shift pattern. The organisational changes can relieve staff in the night and minimise the risk of the declining production efficiency during work at night.
