No your numbers dont count, pieces per hour and stops per hour are bogus. If you have a mall route and you have to use a flatbed cart, say you have 75 pieces for one stop but you have to make 3 trips. That may take up to 20-25 minutes. Or if you deliver in a congested area, heavy traffic, stop lights etc.. Every route is different but you wouldnt know that. The routes with the most miles always get better time, you were a driver for a short period for a reason, and all of us that are still drivers know that reason. You dont have a clue but think you know everything. Listen to the ones who do the work, you did the job, but couldnt handle it.Okay... I guess Cost per piece, NDPPH, SPOHR, Ov/Un, don't count. Individually, I agree each has a problem. In this case, they say the same thing in Telematics sites.
By the way, I do talk with customers also..... Lots of customers....
Again, I posted the true facts. You can choose to believe them or not. Your call.

Someone gave you bad information....
Telematics has been approved for continued deployment next year.
Telematics sites have significantly better performance improvements compared to non-telematics sites.

Spam!!!
There is no way this program is improving production numbers!
Perfect methods = overallowed.
Underallowed = improper methods.
There is no way around these two equations. Any action you take to get off of one report will simply cause you to appear on a different one.
Okay... Explain this then
- We all agree that UPS is cheap and wants to increase profits.
- They installed Telematics first in 1500 vehicles and analyzed them.
- Then they installed Telematics in over 10000 vehicles and spend a very large amount of time analyzing the results.
So, with all this analysis by highly skilled finance people, why did UPS decide to continue and install more? Believe me, the accountants would like to NOT spend the money.
Don't you think they analyzed this? I looked at the same reports as they did.
If its a loser, doesn't it make sense that they would then stop?

My center mgr cooks his numbers everyday cuz he has to have his numbers his way. DNED, missed, misroutes, he always figures out a sneaky way to hide it and make himself look good to the other centers,and braggs about it after the conf call. The "highly skilled finance people" were prob lay-offs from banks who want to justify there numbers, and keep theryre new job. More layers to the big corporation called UPS.
So let's say a driver or two or five in my center currently bonus by about -.50 daily and cheat like the dickens. Do you predict they will they show a marked improvement by telematics forcing a more disciplined following of the methods and not cheating? Or is the production increase you are citing relating more to making those that actually steal time less likely to do so? Just curious.
To stop would mean to admit that a mistake was made.
Admitting mistakes has never been a strong point of this organization.
Look at how often we wind up stuck with an operational "plan" that has been imposed upon us from above and that has no basis in reality. If the plan wont work, we will simply pretend that it works rather than changing it to reflect what is happening in the real world.
In my building we have been saddled with sattelite centers that are costing us more money than they purport to save...but there is no way to get rid of them because the individual(s) from Corporate who mandated them would first have to admit that they were wrong about them in the first place.
