[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 593826, member: 927"] Hello DH, The method is to have the district I.E. create the PKG plan and stop updating it one month before the operation. The actual plan is created by the PDS. I do agree that in many districts I.E. tightly monitors the number of routes dispatched through the method you mentioned. In one of the centers I work with, we had a poor I.E. calculation. It was not realistic and caused additional cost on road. I had the package division manager call the I.E. manager. We agreed on the better daily planning approach and fixed the issue. We reduced miles nearly overnight. All it took was the center taking control which they were supposed to do all along. In another center I had the exact opposite issue. The center was making very poor dispatch decision. In this case, I called the I.E. manager and "explained" that he needed to do a better job of monitoring the dispatch. My point is that while many things are joint responsibilities, one individual function is supposed to be the primary... P-Man [/QUOTE]
