[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1505169"] It's something like packages processed divided by hours worked. So if you process 2000 packages using 4 hours of sort time you attained a 400pph. We have a spreadsheet in my center where you just input all your numbers and out comes the PPH. It's great. Training, Training, Training. The more people know, the more they feel part of the team. Not to mention it helps you, because you don't have to have to find someone to do things. You can just say "Hey Frank, please go over and do this." Makes life easier. Keep an eye out for them too. There are certain things you or whoever trained them may have skipped over for the safe work method. Just watch out for them and if you see something unsafe let them know. Your job isn't only production. It's to make sure everyone gets home safe. Have a plan, always. I like to get a basic game plan down before I leave for work. Then when I get there I check and see how the night will probably go. I see what cars are still out and the order that they will most likely come in. I know which cars are always loaded to the brim with what. This allows me to know when I can have guys bagging smalls for a while or if I need all hands on deck to unload and load. There will always be things out of your control. But the best thing you can do is just be prepared so when those unexpected things happen, you can mitigate the damage as much as possible. You should never have free time. If you do you should be finding something that can be done so later on you don't get bit for it. Keep moving and try to have an idea of what is going on at all times. The vast majority of people on here are very helpful. Some will call you a liar and that you don't care. Best thing to do is just ignore them. If you genuinely do care about your employees (which I hope you do) you will show it. Remember you are a team. You get the crap when things go wrong. But you're the leader. You don't fail, they don't fail. Win as a team, fail as a team. Don't ever use "you guys." It's always us. Make sure you reward your guys. Find a metric you are having issues with.
