[QUOTE="polyp, post: 3286733, member: 49593"] The big impact automating our smalls had was simply that we could run more volume through the smalls system. Significantly reduced the amount of peices that should have been inside a nylon but weren't because the infrastructure just wasn't there. Didn't seem to make much of a dent in terms of number of people on payroll, just a few more people cut out each day. The main change was being able to absorb that flow. Maybe the reductions will come when they get the system to stop building bad bags? It's been a few years though. I'm not optomistic, the whole thing still breaks down every couple of months. I'm actually kind of looking forward to the automated unload/sort when they finish automating the hub. They've had major problems staffing the associated skilled positions here for ages. No one wants to do it because the building is woefully over capicity. If I were to guess, projections for the reduction in staffing are going to be frustrated by how overwhelmed some of these older buildings are right now. [/QUOTE]
