[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 530972, member: 927"] I have certainly seen some poor IE planners lately. Let me make some clarifications however. The IE planner is responsible for creating a high level plan up to one month before the operation starts. They make a forecast of stops and pieces. Again, I've seen some horrible forecasts over the last year. They take the forecast, and divide it by a planned stops per car to determine how many routes are needed by day. This is put into a system called PKG which records the forecast, plan, and actual. The planned stops per car is supposed to be jointly created between IE and the center and takes into account a planned paid day. IE however does NOT do the dispatch. Each building should have a Package Dispatch Supervisor that actually creates the dispatch. Their plan is supposed to match PKG. You are right that if the forecast is wrong, there will be a problem. Have you looked at the PKG plan in your center? What is the variance between planned and actual stops? What is the planned vs. actual stops per car and paid day. You certainly may be right that the plan is the problem and not the execution. PKG will verify that. What does it say? P-Man [/QUOTE]
