[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 775919, member: 10234"] I can agree with that. The problem is that as you stated......there are 1300 centers and , therefore, multiples of routes in those centers. Each one has a trace, load and dispatch. Most have a way less than perfect trace, a way less than perfect loader and are being dispatched by some who are way in over their head when it comes to knowing how to make adjustments. You can't blame the dispatch sup for a bad trace, I guess....but that's where the problems start and they multiply from there. Will there ever be a perfect trace? Absolutely not!! But until those problems are addressed.....it will continue to be an exercise in frustration for everyone. Once a decent center trace, a decent load and a decent dispatch is achieved.....then and only then should an adjustment of SPC be made. In other words.......management (along with the aid of drivers and loaders) have to do their part in making the system work. You can't just throw more work at the driver and expect a good result. I believe that you and others in your position are doing your best to fix a poorly implemented system, but until you achieve a decent center trace.....the rest is an exercise in futility. Bottom line.....if you want to achieve more production with less people......you have to have a system that is functional from the top down. [/QUOTE]
