[QUOTE="konsole, post: 1149312, member: 23965"] So it sounds like you have a box-line system like Macbrother said. I don't fully understand how that system works, but the system in our building is I guess what would be called a conveyor system. Theres about 10 or so trailers being unloaded on one end of the building, 1 unloader per trailer. The packages travel out of the trailer on a short conveyor (extendo), and a SPA person scans and put a PAS label on each package. The packages then travel to the "sort aisle" where about a dozen or so people look at each PAL label and move the package to 1 of 4 belts. Each of those 4 belts then travels to a "pick-off" where 1 or 2 people then look at each PAL label and move each package to the appropriate final conveyor belt. The final conveyors consist of a "splitter" at the beginning that pushes packages to the front/middle/back of the belt depending on who the package is going to. Each of these final conveyors has anywhere from 3 to 5 preloaders that look at each PAL label as it comes down the conveyor and loads it onto 1 of 3 trucks (most have 3). Each delivery truck has on average around 250-300 packages and everybody loads that in about 4.25 hours. There is no way that preloaders in our building are expected to load 1,062 packages in that 4.25 hours. So I don't know how the box-line system works but that seems like the reason why people in your building are expected to load 250 pph. Its important we understand the difference between the 2 systems before we can understand how people in one system can do so much more. [/QUOTE]
