Free DuPont Schedule Generator – Simple 24/7 Shift Planning

I put together this DuPont Schedule Generator in Excel to make my own shift planning easier and since I don’t use it anymore, I’m sharing it here for anyone who might find it helpful.

The DuPont shift schedule is a rotating 12-hour system that provides continuous 24/7 coverage, with a nice bonus of a full week off every cycle. If you’re using this kind of rotation, this tool makes it easy to visualize your schedule at a glance.

How It Works:

Just open the file and enter a start date  the first day of a set of four consecutive workdays right before your week off. The rest of the year will auto-fill based on that start point.

What You’ll Get:

  • A clear, color-coded layout

  • A full-year overview at a glance

  • No formulas to mess with — just plug in the date and go

It’s completely free to download and use. I built it for myself, but maybe it’ll save you a few headaches too.

Let me know if it comes in handy!
