[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 351510, member: 927"] No Magic Wand, just good old back to the basics. This stuff existed before there were any computer systems, and the fix is the same. First, I fix the load. I work with the preloader and go over methods. How to place a package. How to lip load. When to drop a package to the floor. I'd review daily any misloads in their load from the day before. I'd audit throughout the preload to ensure that the load was as good as it could be. I had to do this 30 years ago. Same today. Next, I go to DPS and work with the PDS. I check for glaring problems in the route, and make "first cut edits". Then, I bring you in. I show you your route on the map, and ask for suggestions for improvement. If you think the trace can be improved to reduce mile, I adjust (as long as the change makes sense). Since I already worked with the preloader, the changes to the load will now be in the right place. I review with you over a few days, and make changes as needed. This process will take a few weeks, but its worked. Now, the down side. The local management has to keep this up. they have to continue to follow up with the preloaders, and make route adjustments as needed. The business always took care and feeding. Just because we have a computer, it hasn't changed. I've said before, many centers are doing this very well. Their service and production have improved. They don't have peak season crisis' any more. I know it can be done, but the answer is to get back to the basics and understand that there is no "magic wand" or "silver bullet". P-Man [/QUOTE]
