[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 511248, member: 927"] Red, I never said the driver needed to improve. I also never said that the work measurement was perfect. However, work measurement points to problem areas. The problem could be the driver, it could be the job setup, or it could be the measurement itself. Here are examples: You leave the building and then spend 20 minutes resorting your load. You will be over allowed for that time. Its not the drivers fault. Your load is not loaded well, and you spend time at each stop looking for packages. You will be overallowed in select. Not the drivers fault. You load is not closed in the morning and you spend closing the load. You are overallowed in the AM. Not the drivers fault. The above are large causes of overallowed today. Work measurement was designed to point out where a problem exists. It was NOT intended to say who caused the problem. UPS has given this good science a bad name by trying to make the driver responsible for overallowed. One more thing. Work measurement is designed to be 95% accurate, 95% of the time. This means that on a 9 hour planned day, the work measurement could be off by 27 minutes plus or minus. It also means that 1 day per month, its not accurate at all. My point is that the center team needs to be able discern where the problem exists. Is it the driver, job setup, or work measurement itself. P-Man [/QUOTE]
