[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 318203, member: 927"] Well, I don't know if the dispatchers understand how to use the data provided by the system. I also don't know what their intentions are. I do however know the dispatching methods and how the tools work. I assume I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. Let me try one more time.... First, the dispatcher is supposed to determine a target paid day for each driver. For this example, lets assume its 9.40 hours. Next, they are supposed to check the operation reports and determine the driver's average over or under allowed average time. For this example, lets assume this is a 1.00 hour over allowed driver. The dispatcher then takes a representative day(s) from history (or a combination of history and actual package forecasts). The system calculates how much planned work is on that car. This calculation comes from the time study. In this example, lets assume that this is 8.75 hours of planned work. The system then adds up the numbers and compares to the target. In this example, this is what we would have: Planned Day: 8.75 Hours (From Time Study) Over Allowed: 1.00 Hours (From Actual Reports) Paid Day: 9.75 Hours (Planned Day + Over Allowed) Target Day: 9.40 Hours The system will show this route red because the Paid day is too much over the target. Lets say that time studies change by .20. What would happen? The driver would then be .20 more overallowed (or 1.20 hours). what would this do to the dispatch? Planned Day: 8.55 Hours (From Time Study) Over Allowed: 1.20 Hours (From Actual Reports) Paid Day: 9.75 Hours (Planned Day + Over Allowed) Target Day: 9.40 Hours Even though the driver becomes more over allowed, the dispatch is not supposed to be affected. Now, again, this is the method. Go look at the systems. If they are not doing this in your location, the cause is not the time study. At this point, unless I'm still unclear, its your choice whether to believe me or not. If I'm unclear, I'd be glad to try and explain again. P-Man [/QUOTE]
