[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1384811, member: 14668"] Some IE guy in a cubicle who never touched a package in his life has decreed that stacking is "inefficient" because of the additional time spent re-handling the same packages, so periodically he issues a mandate forbidding the practice and demanding that his underlings threaten discipline to all who disobey. In [I]his[/I] perfect little fantasy world, the packages can be loaded one at a time in the order that they come down the belt with no need for stacking. There [I]are[/I] no jams, there [I]are[/I] no containment issues, there [I]are[/I] no irregs, there [I]are[/I] no routes being broken up 30 minutes before wrapup and there [I]are[/I] no 200-piece bulk stops being crammed into a P-700 in the first hour of the shift. Your only problem is that you work in the [I]real[/I] world, and he [I]doesn't[/I]. Sometimes you just have to do what they say, regardless of how stupid it is, and let it fail catastrophically.
