[QUOTE="LKLND3380, post: 261157, member: 6601"] Who says it is running 60-70%? What if my figures show you are running at 115 -120%? What if someone else has figures that says you are only at 40%? In order for accurate numbers you need an equal playing field and that means every employee having same physical characteristics, health, etc... Now that would also mean same number of packages, weights, etc... Of course there are all these variables and the variables have their own set of variables... Based on that the only realistic numbers would be very lowest and anything more would be above average and even then near perfect... Look at the nations space program and how imperfect that is and they have some of the top engineers. Are we really to believe that UPS has the top people in the world coming up with these figures? I am willing to be these figured are dreamed up by a district manager wanting a 10% increase over last year... The center manager is given the number and to make sure it is met - the center manager pads it by 10% and then the supes pad the numbers so they are not accountable so now we end up with figures with a 30% volume increase... The hourlies are then FORCED to meet these PPH numbers and then we wonder why misloads are a problem... But it goes beyond that and DART injuries go up as well... Here is something for the rocket scientists at UPS... How much does one misload or late pacakge cost? How much does one DART injury cost? People will say - We dont have that many DART injuries, etc, etc. etc... But lets be honest, how many injuries go unreported? [/QUOTE]
