[QUOTE="Goldilocks, post: 982224, member: 41888"] Our Station went live on Saturdays only, but by September our entire station will be using the DRA. It is set up to balance all routes. So the couriers who like getting off early will have to work later. The baseline routes will be cut when volume is lighter. When your manager is setting DRA up in the mornings its all about the Sort down time they put in the system. Say they put in 0745 am sort down time but the sort went down at 0800, then DRA will create enough routes for 0745 not 0800. It created less routes and more stops. Its very important that the managers enter the correct sort down time. Some days I will go out with 40 stops and other days 14 stops. I do like the way it sorts your packages. On the yellow tag you will see your first stop to your last stop and your quadrant order. I do like that part. You can get out of the bldg is less than 5 min. Thats another important fact, you must leave within 5 min of the fine sort or you wont make your goal. But thats very easy to do with DRA. The thing I dont like about it is that it blows up some routes with stops and the base line routes with few stops. [/QUOTE]
