[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 370919"] thats not likely to change. I've heard it ever since I've worked here. When I was a loader there was a week during the summer that I'd been averaging 230+ (before PAS) which is like 10-15 off where I normally was, but hey it was hot/humid and I didn't want to collapse but they'd tell me to hurry up. Once I snagged the sheet that said the planned pph was 200 (at the time) I then ignored the prodding. I understand the need to work quickly and efficiently, but at some point you get diminished returns. When we meet our plan for production our misloads go sky high (as a building due to out of syncs and wrong cars). There is just a realistic number for accurate production, I'm not sure what it is, but for me it was always around 200-215 under PAS. This is with every label pulled (a method in our center) and no misloads when I was in that range. Anything drastically above that I'd have 1 or 2 and then go a few days without, then have some etc you get the point. It just seems to me that when we meet our production, drivers don't meet theirs as they're shagging misloads because people (some not all, some just slack and I realize that) aren't given enough time to complete their job accurately. Consider this, I have a guy who regularly gets 1100 packages. By plan he should have 5.25 hrs, we give him 4 at the max (often times its less). I am not allowed to start him earlier. To me, that is unacceptable. I can rationalize a lot of the moves and decisions we make with reasonable explanations, but not that one...it just defies all logic. Its not a credible plan and lacks integrity because I know of no one that could do that pickoff day in/day out following every method and wrapping it. Not even myself and I was a damn good loader.
