[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 235349, member: 11234"] 220 pph on a boxline load is possible on some boxlines, in a week I OJS'ed a full time sup in one of our buildings to 212 PPH on the entire line, all different loaders. The MSD was 227 and we might have gotten to 97% or so if I had more time. But management has to create the conditions for that to work. It's not easy. The methods are key, I saw quite a few people working very hard, but double handling packages, stacking on platforms behind the car, etc. Getting them to stop doing that was the key, and the PPH shot up with no one working any harder. You sound pretty intelligent though, maybe on your line there isn't that much low hanging fruit because you guys know what you're doing. In WORMA I imagine you're waiting for a HARCT load to get in every day, in my building it was the Harrisburg, PA load. We would do the same thing, double up the staffing, but we included the LOADERS. PAS right, anyone can load. We had the same primary ppl from the loads that were unloaded go to the same sets every day after they got done and we wouldn't wrap perfectly but when we did it right it wasn't so bad. I think the IE guy SHOULD be able to show the way to fix a problem, but there aren't many of us who came up through the company anymore. Missed pieces were an issue in the building, but upper management had to stop "punishing" the PDS's by forcing them to shuttle them around all day for 16 hours. If there's a missed piece problem due to bad HINs, put the PDS behind the damn DPS machine for 16 hours and tell him to fix it the RIGHT way. No one wants to go through a few days where the missed pieces skyrocket like that though. As for training and PCMs, that stuff should happen every day, but the turnover on all levels makes it almost impossible. I hope the newest labor agreement addresses the 8.50 an hour for part timers, which is a fiction on our preload where almost everyone gets the skilled position dollar just to try to make it fair.
