[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 393613, member: 9789"] Getting back to the thread....! Every operation has MSD that is taken. This will determine what the "Rule of Thumb" rates are. In my previous operation - the feeder unload rate was 1100 PPH and the air container operation was 1200 PPH. A good unload or sort supervisor (even load side) knows what to expect from their employees. They should not take counts on the employee if there are jams or irregs or other unusual situation. We did individual counts to let the employee know where they stood. It was a recognition tool (see below). As for the operation - flow counts use to tell us how we were doing. In some cases we used those along with counters to determine if we were going to hit our down time. Now the new scanning systems will relay scanned load numbers to help us determine down times and other production indices. It is about 15 minutes behind but uses scanned volume so it is as accurate as the packages scanned. My supervisors used the counts to promote a unloader and sorter of the week based on the counts and missorts and other indices. This would equate to an unloader of the month - sorter of the month etc. Ultimately - we would get an EOM for the whole operation. It was a great tool to recognize employees efforts! [/QUOTE]
