Technologies UPS is Using to Get Ahead of the Competition

no i wish it was, it would make life easier for drivers



yah that is 100% on your PM OMS, sorry

they CAN fix that



that's a bull excuse, i don't think you know what you're talking about here

sure DIAD's can get broken on road but chronic battery issues are the fault of the PM OMS, either for not SOCing them out or for not cleaning the racks properly

That's cute you think we all have a PM OMS.

I heard some places have automated rollers and belts that go all the way from unload to the end of the facility!

The only thing the PM OMS can do is clean the racks, not replace them, as that is what the problem is, they won't replace the ones that "sometimes" work.... and he's a 30 year guy so quit pointing fingers at what you don't know rookie

Right? I heard they have working toilets and get toilet paper too.

They won't replace rollers in unload that cut our hands when we carry them.

Using technology to get ahead?

Get ahead of what? We can't even get out of the building on time.

Simple is better. Technology tends to make the most mundane task far more complex than it needs to be. We see it in our routes on a daily basis. We should never had businesses on our 7s and 8s. Business stops should always be a priority. orion be damned if it adds a few extra miles to make service on a business in a timely manner. There was one day a few weeks ago that orion had me delivering 90 RESI stops before I ever began my business in town. There were nearly 20 businesses that were set to be delivered after 5.
Technology company.....pishaw.
Let's get back to the basics.

That was user error ... not technology. LOL

So rollers are your idea of technology.

Build the wall! LOL

Similar experience at Georgia Tech but the reverse.
When they built the Boggs Chemistry building, they did not put in sidewalks.
They waited a couple of months until footpaths were worn in and that's where they put the sidewalks.
As a Freshman, I thought it was stupid but that has been a guiding approach to me at UPS and my personal life.

No, he thinks you all have PMS!

Mizzou did the same thing on their campus.

Usually they will put in sidewalks at nice right angles which the students will ignore and walk the shortest distance across the grass.

And users of applications will do the same thing.
Prescribed Behavior is rarely the same as Actual Behavior ... an axiom of User Interface design.
Programmers struggle with this concept.

They were good about going in and adding sidewalks where the grass was worn down.


But students are dumb. Had multiple kids get hit crossing the road every year. Crosswalk at an intersection 100 ft away and an overpass catwalk 10 ft away. They'd rather dodge 4 lanes of traffic.

You'd better let the ORION team know.

You mean the real world is different?

 

[Catatonic]

You'd better let the ORION team know.

There is also the concept of ...
A captured audience as opposed to capturing an audience.
You are part of a captured audience (paid trainable employee).
A customer using UPS.com apps are an audience you are trying to capture and no one is there to train them.

This is, in my opinion, a weak part of the Operations applications for employees.
Operations does not facilitate User Interface designers for their applications and it shows.
Users have to be trained to use Operations applications.

I don't follow but I get the gist ... I think.
Read my post before this one of yours.
