[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 1098557, member: 927"] Sober, The truth is that you WILL find something to complain about with ORION. Guaranteed. Its not perfect. Every negative thing I've read here is true. To an extend. I've heard these from drivers I've spoken with, and I spoke with a lot. But these things are only part of the story. I saw some reports recently. The average that the current centers are following trace is about 82%. They also have reduced miles a lot. If you follow trace today at 40%, ORION may have a problem. That is for sure. You either have a horrible trace setup or you are making decisions similar to ORION. If its the former, ORION will NOT work. If it's the latter, then ORION won't find savings on your route. I had a chance to go on an "ORION ride". I saw it in action. Again, not perfect, but very good. You are right. It will come down to implementation (like everything else). If your stance is that you will either follow ORION 100% or ignore it then there is no chance it will work for you (that is also unfortunate). No system UPS (or anyone else) has deployed is perfect. On the other hand, these systems HAVE absolutely improved productivity. It's measurable. They have also allowed UPS to offer services like: - Delivery Intercept - MyChoice - Smart Pickup - Quantum View Sounds like the teiam in your building at least your team took the time to explain what they are doing. Hardly stealth work being done in a cubicle. Good luck with the implementation. [/QUOTE]
