global schedules

Global schedules, also known as global timetables or universal schedules, refer to a coordinated and standardized time management system that applies across multiple regions, countries, or even organizations. These schedules typically define common working hours, public holidays, and other time-related norms that are used for planning and coordinating activities internationally.

1. **Common working hours:** A global schedule might set standard business hours, such as 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in many time zones, to ensure that teams can communicate effectively regardless of their physical location.

2. **Time zone adjustments:** Global schedules often account for different daylight saving time (DST) rules, helping to minimize confusion and ensure accurate scheduling when people in different parts of the world follow different DST practices.

3. **International events and meetings:** They facilitate scheduling of international conferences, webinars, or calls where participants from various time zones need to find a mutually convenient time.

4. **Cross-border logistics:** In industries like shipping and transportation, global schedules help coordinate schedules for cargo movements, flights, and deliveries across borders.
