[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 564197, member: 927"] Danny, Let me add some clarification on the purpose of work measurement. Work measurement is intended to point out where a problem exists, not necessarily who caused the problem. I've seen managers use time study information as a "blame tool" instead of a compass. For instance, lets assume a route has a poor load or a poor dispatch. If the driver delivers his / her air and then stops and sorts his / her load all that sorting time is going to be overallowed. If the driver is looking for packages in the load, he / she will be overallowed in select. If you have to meet another driver to swap misloads, you will be overallowed. I've heard it argued that we know this happens every day, why don't we give planned time for it. Well, then the work measurement would not point out that a problem exists, and that's its purpose. If the job setup is good and methods are good then the problem is the study. It has to be. P-Man [/QUOTE]
