[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 407131"] I still have to question the value of this. Instead of using this money to improve outdated buildings (like mine lol) or improve the safety of current ridiculously old package cars (holes in floors, lack of 3 point belts, etc) that we're going to continue to use, we're using it to over monitor yet something else. I hope its better implemented than PAS was to start. Granted the wrinkles are finally starting to be ironed out from that, but thats for another day. Pretzel Man I don't doubt it may have positive results, but it just seems like overkill. We've survived over 100 years without it, why do we need it now? Is it really CRUCIAL to our employees success? It makes it look like we don't trust our employees to do the right thing. Granted they don't trust us either so I suppose it works both ways but at least that instance isn't costing us monetarily. I agree technology is great, but the company is trying to get too efficient if thats the word. Technology isn't always the answer. PAS (sorry but its too easy of an example in a lot of buildings) was supposed to improve preload. While learning is definitely easier, we've got extra jobs now (SPA people, extra sorters, an entire extra area fully staffed for decap, etc) so I just don't see how that saves us any money all while our service is arguably worse (out of syncs, system flips, incorrect DCAPing, wrong cars, etc) and our center takes longer to wrap than it did previously. Add to that all of the same issues that PAS was supposed to alleviate (last minute add cuts, trucks not containing, etc) that still exist. All the while our turnover is just as bad as before because now we expect people to be perfect from day one with PAS (or at least upper management here in WORMA). Same thing here, I understand how it could be useful, but fail to see any gains at my level. I think in both instances while in theory it could be a big help, that money could likely have been better spent elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
