[QUOTE="bones, post: 990071, member: 8429"] Would need more details to give better answer but here are a few. 1) Volume heavier or lighter than the plan would equal increase or decrease in staffing as most p/t operations operate in a window in which start time is set prior to start of operation and arrivals dictate the operation run to a certain time. 2) The operation runs less than the planned staffing due to absenteeism in which the IE answer would be hire more people, however, if you are not running the plan already or are very tight hiring more people would increase indirect hours for that week and decrease pph following weeks due to number of new people being added (most p/t operations already hire weekly). These are two of the easiest answers, would need more detail to give better answer. Another senario is most operations have a sweet spot to operate in, the IE plan in HPS or PKG is usually set based on sort spans or paid day which gives you a FPH and a staffing level, if this is not in the sweet spot I won't follow it, I will go up or down in FPH and staffing to reach that sweet spot. Not taking a shot at you but I have seen many times those who start or come up in IE telling operators how to do it and why can't you get it done fail miserably when they get the chance to run the operation, most wind up leaving the company if left in operations. On the other hand I have seen those in operations who did not have a clue and should have left the company. [/QUOTE]
