[QUOTE="BURMDPsupe, post: 994295, member: 14027"] I'll bite. Since you asked this question during a week that was extremely/dangerously hot in most of the country, maybe the manager felt it was necessary to run over plan to compensate for a decrease in production. Let's face it, even your best employees will slow down during excessive heat; the body can only take so much stress without suffering signs of heat exhaustion. If you measure the overall cost, missing the plan by a few pieces is nothing compared to the cost of a heat related injury(s) on a sort. The manager still needs to have the sort shut down to meet pull times, hence extra staffing to get the work completed. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just a thought. Also, some managers could "sandbag" their weekly pph by beating the plan on heavy volume days and missing the plan by a piece or two during the light volume days; that way, the weekly pph will even out and the manager is still able to make weekly pph goal.
