They do tend to focus on misloads here also but I don't feel threatened about it. They know that I get very upset when I have them as do most on my line. We do care and all work very hard to not have them. They do push us to do better but they don't yell at us. The manager who did yell about misloads is on another line and since he left things have been great.
As a team we preloaders bug each other when we see who had what misloads. When we find trends in misloads we share our info and we do watch out for each other. Many times they are not our fault but we do get the blame. No system is perfect and I have only worked with PAS so I can't compare it to what you all had before.
They mostly say things to new hires, they know people who have been here longer know better. And many times they aren't our fault and when they ARE and I know it I do take responsibility for it, because it was a mistake. However bad pals (system flips, out of syncs) should not be charged to us. THe only kind should be wrong cars.
We kid around with each other about misloads, but some people work very hard and still have them so its kind of hard to get on them too much haha. A guy I know pretty well used to have system flips and they were supposed to go to my truck. We'd let each other know when it happens so we'd get it right. Granted it happened everyday almost (this was during peak) but at least we caught them.
Before PAS there were no bad PALs, no system flips, no out of sync labels. It was harder to learn as all the streets that went on a truck were listed in alphabetical order and were color coded to match the colors on the load chart which had a representation of the shelves in the truck, but once you memorized them (took about a month for most), you rarely looked at the charts. Say the top shelf would be the red section, all the streets on the chart that were red would go in that section, another shelf would be half blue and the other yellow and again you'd match them up etc. This way you KNEW what streets were on your trucks and could easily identify something that didn't belong there. I would still be able to load the trucks I did with that system today if I had to lol as well as a couple other pulls that I started/covered back then in addition to mine. PAS is MUCH easier to learn, I will never dispute that as theres no possible way to do so. There just seem to be some flaws that are very hard to iron out.
The two line supes I've had were great, they try to encourage you and joke around with you. Theres also a FT supe that everyone respects. When he is not here, the whole operation doesn't run as smooth. Its not them, its more in the upper levels in the center that have seemingly lost touch with the operation that they run and the people that break their backs for them...which amazes me.
