[QUOTE="splozi, post: 963510"] I've heard this stated several times in various posts before. Any chance you could clarify? The quality of preload appears to vary belt by belt, at my center. Here's an example- last Friday, after I was finished, my sup sent me over to the fourth belt to help out. The preload manager was standing around and pointed me toward the fifth belt instead. Here was the situation on m5: all but two loaders were gone for the day, half the trucks already had their doors closed, all placards were down. No sup was present. There was a pile of irregs at the front of the belt. Seriously? If any one of us on my belt left before finishing our areas 100% (unless previously arranged), our sup would have a nice talk with us the next work day. This was not my belt, so I hadn't the slightest clue which trucks leave early and were already gone... or even which truck was what, as they were no longer marked. It was quite a mess for me. It's very possible that the sup sent everyone home. It's also possible that the irregs came after everyone had already gone, but I doubt this. So, my belt is a completely different world from the one I was sent to help on, because of the people. We get our stuff done without being babysat. I believe that it's less about 'tools' and more about the workers. We get "forecast sheets" at the start of every morning (most of the time), and I feel like that is enough to get a rough idea of what your load will look like, even though they are frequently inaccurate. It also depends very much on the sup on that belt. Some sups take charge and make sure everything flows smoothly. Other sups pick their butts and watch everything go to hell. [/QUOTE]
