The ie guy who implemented pas in our center "added a map" He drew some squiggly lines out to the side and said it was such and such streets; result? I was going back and forth and in circles until I took over 3 hours coded as am meeting to plan it all out on multiple full pages for the dispatcher to change. Now most of it is gone, why?
PAS is a disaster, it causes service failures (bad pals), poor service (business deliveries after 6:00 pm) ( businesses never know what driver or what time to expect), miles thus fuel costs are a joke, overtime costs (sort, meet to exchange misloads, or run misloads)
I honestly believe with the service level we are providing now there may be no UPS in the future if something doesn't happen to get a handle on this mess.
IWork:
I've seen pooly implemented PAS centers and the result is as you described. Poor routes, disrupted service and excess miles.
On the other hand, overall PAS centers have improved service. Delivery scan frequencies are much better and miles are down.
That's the average and as I said certainly doesn't mean that its working everywhere.
As far as Maps go, I'm not sure what he did. He can add areas to the map as you described, but making the trace correct only takes minutes.
As I've said, I've seen this work great in many centers. Some don't work great.
Its the same system. Same training. Same support.
The only difference between the good and poor site is the local management.
