[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 1027842, member: 14596"] I think you deeply underestimate the amount to which both production and service would drop under your scenario. The production would not drop much at first. As soon as your loaders and unloaders figured out there was no one there instilling a sense of urgency, they would slow down. And if they had misloads, well, they would likely not even know about them, much less get overly excited. I have seen it, both in Preloads, Hubs, and Package centers. Just a 10% drop in production would likely wipe out about half of your $1.4 million. Let it slide another 10% and you are back to even. Let alone the cost of the increase in service failures. Not to mention the fact that if OSHA shows up for something and you have no compliance documentation kept up to date in your operation, the fines would make those PT sups that used to do those documents look pretty cheap. You may have too many pt sups in that building, so getting rid of a few might help, but eventually you will hit a point of diminishing returns and actually start going backward. And even if you saved the $1.4 million for all the management you mention, that is not even close to the largest cost in that operation. Not even close. [/QUOTE]
