[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1139152, member: 14668"] P-man, It really [I]does[/I] matter, because in the final analysis the majority of the money that is being spent on all the ORION hardware and GPS plotting is being wasted. Most of the loop detail "cleanup" that your high-priced ORION team has been doing as part of the implementation process consists of nothing more than basic corrections to PAS/EDD that we drivers have been suggesting for [I]years [/I]now. My loop for example has a combined [B][I]95 years of area knowledge [/I][/B]among its 5 drivers; instead of spending millions of dollars on some high-tech GPS system to tell us which stop to deliver next, you could pay a part-time data entry clerk to make a few basic corrections to our exisiting PAS/EDD and get the same or better results in terms of efficiency and reduced miles. What UPS is doing with ORION is pretty much akin to paying an electrician $10,000 to go up on a ladder and replace a burned out light bulb. Lots of noise, lots of fancy high tech, lots of new and meaningless metrics to measure and chase, but no real improvement in terms of value to the customer. [/QUOTE]
