[QUOTE="soberups, post: 734311, member: 14668"] It boils down to two numbers; Stops Per Car (SPC) and Stops Per On Road Hour (SPORH). By eliminating a route, both numbers increase and the center looks better on paper. SPORH increases because you have one less vehicle driving to-from the delivery area, which is non productive time. Now anyone with common sense knows that by eliminating a route and improving these metrics, you often create [I]other[/I] problems and negatively impact [I]other[/I] metrics; but as long as SPC and SPORH are the current flavor of the week those other problems and metrics will be overlooked. Logic, common sense and good business decisions are seldom a factor in the UPS decision-making process because they dont usually translate well into a metric. [/QUOTE]
