[QUOTE="Speedy Cerviche, post: 1134056, member: 34741"] I manipulate SPORH for sport. I mean, it helps that I'm naturally neurotic and a closeted nerd, but it's a small slice of fun trying to get as close to a round number as I can, or predicting what'll show up on tomorrow's report when I walk into the building. I'd need to see the formula for cost per piece to tell you how I'd do it, but I'm guessing there are dozens of variables that go into what gets charged for every package. Surely there is one that can be monkeyed with. Math with variables is like math with letters - most people can't figure it out and that gives the people that can a lot of gray area to work with. I don't know what SPM or NDPPH are ( something per minute and non domestic pieces per hour? I don't really care because it has no effect on my day). But I'm betting they're arbitrary formulas with a lot of variables used to describe complicated situations as simply as possible to people who don't really care about what's being described. For what it's worth p-man, I believe in what orion is doing and what it can do for the company. My only dislike is the heavy handed way UPS introduces new equipment and technology. It's usually a good idea gift wrapped in an overly sunny lie. Just my opinion of course. Keep on fighting the good fight though, things will change irrespective of anything I think or you do.
