[QUOTE="PTSUP0438, post: 807605, member: 19363"] I can feel your pain dude, trust me on that one. What really worked for me on cutting down misloads was to actually work with the preloaders. Don't make them your enemy by constantly taking them to the steward and doing that song and dance, we all know nothing ever comes from it and it will make the hourlies hate you. I try to have a semi-personal relationship with all the hourlies it makes life/work a hell of a lot easier. Try to get them to slow down a little and concentrate at the work they are doing. I know that sounds anti-brown but it works and you don't really loose that much time. 2. Make sure you review every day what misloads were reported and try to build a pattern like you described with the "2 people" you mentioned. What cars were they misloaded on. Were they on a specific shelf/section/bulk stop. 3. Don't set your employees up for failure, make sure they ARE INDEED getting to work with a few minutes to spare and making sure their work area is ready. Do they have all the necessary tools to help them succeed? (crayons, markers, etc.) 4. Get hang-able things with Velcro on them to put a green and red truck bay number on them and put them outside the car. (green and red paper with black font, really big.) hang these at the beginning of the shift and use the green ones for misload free loaders and red ones for the misload cars, not every car in the pull, identify problem cars. 5. I think circling the label is useless, wtf problem does that solve? that you actually looked at the label first? why don't you write the truck number on the box close to the PAS label (ex. truck 101 would have a 1 on it, and 102 would have a 2 on it, if your building does drivers initials use an initial or something, be creative). 6. Make sure the load quality is good, not misloads but actual load quality, addressing that usually solves a lot of problems. On another note, don't let your Manager push you around I refuse to be someones b**ch and you should stand up for yourself. If you are a half decent employee yourself and tell them your doing the best you can then stand your ground and hold it, don't roll or you'll be shi^^ing brown your whole career. In terms of scan checks, you have to do 800. Dude I have to do 1600+. Get yourself some sticky labels and print the scan check barcodes onto these and put them under a shelf so your not searching for the correct label at every truck. The trucks that you don't have to do a commit on figure out how many trucks you have divided by how many remaining scan checks you have to do and get like a 40-50 package sample out of each car to get your total, that way you aren't digging through shelfs. Get your loaders to put the labels facing out when possible to further the efficiency. At the tail end of the shift airs run so try to scan as many airs as you can they are easy! Tell them to take the DOK home with them if at all possible or create acronyms for 8 keys 5 keys etc, it's all about efficiency. Green cards are simple, pre-fill them out on your own time and put peoples names on them when you identify safe behaviors. DON'T PUSH THE EMPLOYEES THEY ARE HUMANS TOO NOT YOUR ENEMY, WORK TOGETHER YOUR ALL ON THE SAME FLOATING BROWN TURD TAKE TURNS ROWING! pm me if you wanna talk bud :happy-very: [/QUOTE]
