Very unlikely they miss their numbers as much as you think.
I'll pay more attention to the numbers on the area I'm talking about. All I can say is right now they're "overstaffed," and PTers are still getting 8 or more hours twice a week.

Most IE people are not bad people. They are just frustrating. There is a disconnect between them and operationsFor all the jabs I take at IE, I did meet a good guy from that department once. I loaded a trailer with him, in fact, and he flat out agreed with me that it should be a requirement that PT supervisors have 6 months of experience doing whatever job they would be supervising.

Printout will be from PDOP. You can manipulate that to say anything you want. I can say everyone needs a PPH rate of 575 and we will use 10 preload hours for 10,000 pieces. Plans put in should be realistic. But I know when I would put them in and post them I would always shoot for 3-5 points above my actual goal so that I had wiggle room for unexpected issues (late air, late trailers, unforecasted volume appearing etc).Are you sure? On the outbounds, they printout a sheet with everything from the previous night. Planned PPH, Actual PPH, Planned Man-hours, Actual Man-hours, percentages, planned volume, actual volume (Actual volume is always, ALWAYS 2000-3000 higher than planned), etc..
There's 2 plans. Business and PKG. PKG is what we are judged on and what we need to hit. PDOP plan used pkg as a base for planning. But the supervisor makes it before every sort, not IE.There's a double secret plan?

Your team may be showing the real numbers. But if they are consistently missing them they wouldn't be around very long
