[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 1010558, member: 927"] I'm not sure if you are saying that I am wrong about PDF, or that UPS should do a better job of explaining how time studies, work measurement, and allowances work to its operators. If you think I'm incorrect, then stop reading this. I have been time study certified long, long ago. I have one of the old coveted "blue" cards (now obsolete) that certified me to do original analysis. I know about the mechanics of PDF and how the systems work, and PDF is included. If you are saying UPS does a poor job of explaining and teaching how the systems work to its operators, I fully agree. In the old days we used to do that. We used to have operators rotate for a year in IE so they know how allowances work. We cut costs and lost the understanding we used to have. You are right that supervisors should not give the deer in the headlights look on the topic and should not blindly use the computer. BTW, the planned day is assuming a proper job setup. If you got a bad load, you will be overallowed. It measures how the job should be and points out inefficiencies. It should NOT be used to say a driver is doing a poor job. The driver may be doing the job correctly but was given a bad load. [/QUOTE]
