[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 514403, member: 927"] Satellite: I think that your approach works very well for extended areas. There are lots of "driver sort and loads" that are effective. On the other hand, this approach is not practical for the majority of UPS areas. I think there is another "old school" approach that can work in the remaining locations. Its called "management get your priorities straight and do your job!!" If you look at the things you said you do, we can appropriately apply those things to PAS sites. First, work with the drivers and get the trace correct in DPS. Its not hard to do and if the correct input is sought a good plan can be created. Then, properly dispatch the work including pickups. If the first step is done right, this is easy to do and monitor. Next, work with the preload and teach them to do the same things you mentioned; lip loading, facing labels, where to put oversize / heavy packages, how to snake the load, loading tight, etc. As you said, by creating a good load, you have higher SPORH. Isn't this what management wants anyway. If we (management) do our job and use the systems, train people, and follow up our goals will be met in a sustainable manner. I realize people are saying that this isn't happening at your location. I've seen approach work well in many, many buildings. The problems are not caused by the system, the drivers, or the preloaders. Management not properly using the tools we are given is the cause. P-Man [/QUOTE]
