[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 54204"] Omegaman.. What other elements of a driver's day could there possibly be besides: TRAVEL...all time the vehicle is moving, including traffic delays. SELECT..all time the driver spends in the car poior to exiting the vehicle, including the time walking to the rear of the vehicle to select packages or open the rear door to load pickup packages. WALK TO CUSTOMER.....all time the driver spends walking to a customer, including walking outside a building and walking inside a building. RING BELL/WAIT....all time the driver waits for a responce to enter a building or a customer to answer at a residential signature required stop. CONTACT....all the time a driver spends at point of contact with the consignee or pickup. WALK FROM CUSTOMER...all time a driver spends walking from a customer. LOAD / PREPARE.....all time a driver spends back at the vehicle before travel. MISCELLANOUS....all other time including inside am, sort & load, inside pm, lunch & breaks, and any other time not part of the delivery/pickup cycle. I have personally time studied and analyzed over 150 drivers. There are 2 areas where a driver most oftens fails to meet, or beat, the allowances, SELECT and CONTACT. I have been with drivers who spend time re-sorting their entire load several times during the day, which was not necessary. One driver moved a package 6 times before finally selecting it for delivery. I've seen drivers move packages from shelf to shelf and one side of the car to the other. All were wasted motions, not the proper methods, and no time should be allowed. I've seen cases where it was required for the driver to re-sort the load because of a poor load. As in the other case, no time is allowed for this excess sorting. The reason is you can't develope work measurement based on a poor load. The goal is to correct the load and eliminate the excess time the driver spends re-sorting. Work measurement is designed to highlight inefficenties and correct them, not hide them. As for Contact, a driver spending an additional 20 seconds at 120 stops will be 40 minutes over allowed in contact. That may be a bit extream, but spending 1 or 2 extra minutes at 25 of the 120 stops will have the same result. The sum of the parts DO equal the whole. [/QUOTE]
