[QUOTE="soberups, post: 753578, member: 14668"] Local management [B]cant[/B] do their job and provide proper dispatch and load quality because they have [I]no control[/I] over how many cars they dispatch, they have [I]no control[/I] over whether or not those cars can contain the volume that IE wants to force into them, and they have [I]no control[/I] over whether or not the facility is antiquated, overcrowded, or capable of handling the number of PPH and SPORH that IE and Corporate are demanding. IE's "studies" are based upon proper methods, job setup and load quality. Those same "studies" make proper methods and load quality [B]impossible to achieve in the first place[/B]. When the local management team is ordered to break a route apart and split it up between 4 adjoining cars [I]20 minutes[/I] before start time in order to satisfy some corporate mandate for stops per car...."proper job setup" and "load quality" just got thrown out the window. When those 4 adjoining cars were [I]already[/I] overdispatched to begin with...and when the preloaders responsible for moving the volume are [I]already[/I] overworked and fighting an overcrowded and poorly designed facility...a bad situation is simply made that much worse. An [I]authentic[/I] timestudy is based upon conditons in the [I]real[/I] world, [B]not[/B] in some idyllic fantasy world that exists only in the minds of those doing the study in the first place.
