[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 801462, member: 4816"] :wink2:For my part I would like to make a further comment about pretzelman. This is not about him and me,who is right or wrong or who will win or lose or concede. There is no one including pretzel man that would disagree that in many, many areas of UPS today we are severly lacking the well trained and experienced on car supervisors who has worked with the worst(excuse me cannot use that word)least best driver to reduce excessive on road hours. In a perfect world or center pretzelman's view would have some validity. In this center the work measurement would have been updated and as close to accurate as possible. The center would have depending on its size a well trained experienced firm but fair no nonsense on car supervisor knowledable in the complete drivers job for every 10 to 12 drivers a "section". The on road supervisor would also be trained on labor relations, people skills,the 340 methods, how to OJS,safety methods,conflict resolution,demonstration,followup ,accountability and communication skills. He would have a working knowledge of time study and measurement and complete knowledge of the preload . This competant ,trained supervisor working with and holding accountable the poor performers would reduce excess on road hours , reduce cost, better balance the dispatch by keeping the vast majority of drivers in "range of dispatch" enable the center to make performance goals and control the paid day. So is pretzel right ? Under those conditions he has a very valid point. Now to reality, present day we have very few on car supervisors that I just described. Little or no driving experience not well trained,would rather blame corporate than themselves for not being able to manage. This also applies to business managers division managers and operation managers. If you are one of the few well trained and experienced operational management do not take offense but you are in the minority. Pretzel what I have just described is real, Poor performers impact the entire center. Since the on car sups are ineffective the dispatch will be forced to make production goals. Many very good ,professional drivers will be over dispatched. This does cause dissent and morale problems. The UPS business plan is very detailed and complicated in the areas of volume, revenue ,Cost, etc. In a perfect UPS world it would be much easier to attain. Alas the world is not perfect.!!! Peace:peaceful: P.S. Hoax, Not that I have anything against Corporate but I disagree with one of your comments. The SUCCESSFUL District Manager always kept his or her finger on the pulse. For them being in a center before dispatch,bs'ing with the drivers at the coffee wagon or in the cafeteria was a real +. Today with only 20 Districts I hope that in between meetings and visiting customers the District Manager would take time to "smell the package dust" There are not too many customers they can visit at 7;30 to 8;30 in the morning or during the driver check in pm.:happy2: [/QUOTE]
