You could use a separate source for the third shift which uses a different table to determine the types and quantities. The cells of that table could then be linked to parameters and adjusted freely without affecting the original data.

I'm not really sure what exactly your goal is. Something I regularly do when using global tables as input, is to create alternate versions of those tables. Which one is used in the model is then decided by a parameter that holds the name of the table. Instead of having a fixed reference to a table that parameter is used to access the correct table. Maybe that might be an option for you?

See example below.
