I think it's more so they can add more responsibilities .I've heard the term OMS, I've just never heard the specialist part of it. I guess the term is being used now to be 'politically correct'? LOL
Or maybe just to glorify the position?

YES, that's the term she used....but why change it? OMS works pretty well.That's a negative.
OMS has always stood for "Operations Managment Specialist". There are, or, rather were, many types of OMS'. In operations, in staff functions like HR, IE, PE, etc. There are, or rather were, both full and part time OMS'.
The OMS' you are likely familiar with in the centers have been reclasified, and are now officially called PTPCS = Part Time Package Center Supervisor. This, however, is way too busy to have been a widely accepted nomenclature, so most still call them OMS'.
that's a big part of it, Jennie. There is also lots of info that can and does get shared. We just have to keep in mind that what is true for the east coast is different from the west coast and many places in between.I think this is just a place to vent, which is so great! Its like a browntherapy, lol
I've always heard OMS I just never knew what it stood for. To me OMS=PITA.That's a negative.

This is closer. Back in the day, all management responsibilities, such as PM dispatching, time card issues, etc, were handled in the center by the on road Sups. There were clerks that were in the centers mostly to answer phones. Then the management ranks were thined, and the center clerk position was replaced with the operations managment specialist, who would answer the phones, and deal with issues like PM dispatching and timecards, so that the remaining on road sups could go out on road, were they were always meant to be.
Even more accurate! LOLOr just leave and get home early.
Specialists are people many of you see everyday. The newer BD folks (BD in training) who haven't made the ranks to receive the yearly bonus checks are considered specialists. Many of the center's safety compliance folks fall under the umbrella as specialists. There are certain tech folks that fall under the umbrella of specialist. The inside sales force also fall under specialists...these are the folks who deal with customer questions about billing, lost packages, etc. Specialists are what UPS calls you when you support a larger group function. Specialists are full time, not considered management, not considered union, do not receive yearly bonus checks. The best part about specialists is you come to work, you go home. You work mostly independantly, you don't have managers breathing down your neck, or union fights to deal with....they are the best jobs at UPS with the least amount of stress.Steve, I don't know if the Specialist will be back to read or not, we may have hurt his/her feelings. I hope not.
Anyway, I talked to one of the OMSes yesterday morning about the term Specialist and as luck would have it it's the new term for OMS.....sortta.
OMS= Operation management specialist....who knew? Not I. I reckon this is as close as we can come until someone with more knowledge than I can fill in the blanks.
