[QUOTE="BoogaBooga, post: 141211, member: 4600"] Mike, here's my ideas for increasing productivity: 1. Custom maps for every individual route. Maps should be our blue print for figuring out how a loop works, the PAS system, and providing A1 service. It would lower cover/utility drivers overallowed. 2. Companywide attention to trailers getting out of the hubs later and later. Instead of adapting routes to fit volume and stops, management ends up shooting at the hip because of the early morning chaos-poor dispatches, service failures, and poor load quality. This is where we can save money by dispatching our highest paid salary employees with the best possible load so it can be delivered in the fastest-safest possible way. 3. Set realistic goals. Goals are good, and alot of your goals are obtainable, but not in the time frames you have given some of your frontline management people. This has led to misery on the front lines of the business, and the loss of trust of upper management's sense of direction. Plans are going to have to be more flexible-quickly adaptable to the ever changing business climate. 4. Keep looking for ways to improve the company's safety picture so costs can be kept down in workers compensation claims, injuries, and accidents. You may even have to look at reducing pieces per hour, or stops per car if you can produce at safer levels. 5. Let's find a way so full time employees can go to the Doctor, and followup/specialist visits so the employees health is good or restored, so the employee can perform at top levels. This may mean that Doctors/Nurses/Nutritionists/Personal Trainers visit UPS facilities before or after work as required by employee needs. Well that's some of my ideas Mike. [/QUOTE]
