[QUOTE="scisector9, post: 1518396, member: 48365"] Orion has been a big focus in my building recently also after it wasn't mentioned November through February. Was told at pcm we have one of the worst orion score cards in the district. A 40 something out of 100. It used to be if you can beat orion miles run it however you want now they want us to run 85% trace. To the ops question of why orion was implemented I think the goal is multi fold. Obviously save money and miles is the big one bit also to cram more work per car on drivers and cut routes. This too saves money but more indirectly. We were told when orion was implemented that we would probably end up eliminating two permanent routes do to efficiency. Not all that has come into play but a lot of routes that used to be in more frequently are in less now. Could be a coincidence. Orion is also a great PR tool to boast technology and reduced emissions that ups can boast about. The routes that greatly benefit from the solution are the high mileage more rural routes. As a cover driver it does make my life easier on the routes that rack up 200 miles a day. I used to have to print maps and play connect the dots on the runs I didn't know that well. There were times I would "miss a dot" or the county line switched and I would have to backtrack 15 plus miles for one stop. Now I just go to the stop orion tells me to without thinking. We will see how long the push for orion lasts. [/QUOTE]
