[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 305274, member: 9789"] Dudbro and Westside have the textbook answer. BUT another way to improve your performance numbers PPH and reduce the sort span is by increasing the smalls production. (BYPASS BAGS) The more smalls flowing through the small sort the less pkgs going through the sort isle. If you can cut 15 minutes off the sort and you have 60 loaders in the outbound you can cut 15 minutes per employee in the outbound...which would increase your PPH accordingly. These are some of the things an operator can do to reach the numbers that are said to be [B]unrealistic[/B]. Most of the loaders I dealt with would rather get out of the hub earlier and handle less pieces. Another fix to improving the small sort to get the numbers is to put in a secondary sort which breaks down the small sort read which becomes easier to learn and staff. Your staff comes from the load side and you move those folks back and forth as needed. You also train some unloaders to go to the small sort as soon as they are ramping down in the unload. This stuff all works. You just got to implement it. By talking with your people.... you found out who wants the work and who wants to go home (of course everything is by seniority). But you get your folks backing doing it this way. [/QUOTE]
