[QUOTE="LKLND3380, post: 331300, member: 6601"] You control the flow by hitting the red stop button... LOL:happy-very: Seriously... If the SPA people are being hit hard they will stop the belt... The three belts (Lakeland, Plant City, and Winter Haven) each have two SPA people and a Data Ac Clerk. Lakeland and Winter Haven each have a pick off person, Plant City belt does not. The first two preloaders on Plant City must pick off, split and load their package cars. The unload tries to blow out the sorters at times. The supes in the unload will tell them if they can knock out 6 feeders in 20 minutes before break they will get McDonald's the next day. The result is the SPA people missing packages, sorters placing wrong packages on the wrong belts, IN and OUTs not split and blank/unSPA'd/Missed packages piled at the end of the belt causing egress issues. Preloaders can not keep up because the belt is not split, you push packages over (spilt) hoping your neighbor can get their packages. Doing this may cause other packages to fall - causing egress issues. Now the SPA people will shut down the belt but that does not shut down the system (PE came in and said someone must have rewired something) so the unload and sort continue until it causes a jam. The sort belt will shut down but the unload continues so they stack out the sort belt. When the SPA people turn on the belt after they caught up they are now faced with a two foot high - eight feet long wall of stacked packages... They knock these to the floor as they can not SPA the mess and that creates an egress issue in their area. Problems with this set up is that the packages reach the SPA (going down a slide) without labels up. Envelopes and smalls are mixed with larger packages. You have to hold the SPA gun and search for packages/envelopes under packages - hard to get a firm grip. It ends up being a mess but in the end the unload knocks out six feeders in 20 minutes and everyone goes on break. Around 8:10 the unload and sort are done and the preloaders along with SPA are stuck cleaning up until 8:50. The driver start time is 8:50 so the Center Manager tells all Preloaders to go home and the drivers to wrap up. 9:05 the drivers are out and the center manager is wondering why there is still work going down the belt. This is work that went down the wrong belts earlier or missed work at the end of the belt. Now someone has to shuttle out the work that was left in building... The next day all the preloaders are pissed because they get to watch the unload and sort eat McDonalds during break. PERFECT SERVICE DAY:laughing: [/QUOTE]
