[QUOTE="Jones, post: 93056, member: 4805"] We're going through time studies in my building, it's my understanding that every building is supposed to get them at some point after they make the switch to PAS. It's been at least 15 years since they did studies here, and I agree with Fredly that I'd rather have a college intern doing them than someone from IE with an agenda. They don't need to know our job, that much is clear from watching them work (I've already had my ride). They count steps, keep track of your to and from miles, how many miles between each stop, and what the speed limit is. The whole package selection process and delivery cycle which constitutes the majority of our actual work is largely irrelevant, as the time allowances for those are predetermined and won't be affected by the time study. You can pad that a bit by using the handcart at every sigle stop, but an experienced UPS manager is more likely to decide that you're trying to BS him/her and not give the time for it, whereas the college intern will just enter it in. For what it's worth, the word right now is that most of the routes in my center are going to gain a little time, and we sorely need it. We'll know for sure in a another month or so when the new times go into affect. [/QUOTE]
