[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 54210"] Ms Pacman..If you read my post you would know the allowances are based on what the driver SHOULD do, using the proper methods, NOT what the drive actually did. The methods require the driver to close the bulkhead door. The allowance is based on closing the door. All the allowed times are based on the drive using the methods. If the driver fails to use the proper method, the time for the proper method is built into the allowance and re training of the driver is required. Speed.. The lack of understanding of work measurement, by both drivers and center management, is a major problem within UPS. A few years before I retired. I conducted a series of Time Study Workshops for every Center Manager and On Car Supervisor in my District. It consisted of a 1 week workshop of classroom. actual on road time study of a driver, and analyzing the time study. In addition to teaching Time Study, my responsibilities required me to review every time study WITH the driver studied and the Center team for every study in every Center. Showing a driver where the allowance was not met and the reasons why, goes a long way in building confidence in the work measurement. I had a District Manager and I.E. Manager who both fully believed in explaining the time studies to the drivers and Center teams, unfortunately not all District Managers feel the same and have other higher priorities. I think of work measurement at UPS the same way I think when going to the gas station and buying 20 gallons of gas. Did I actually get 18 gallons or 22 gallons for my money. The accuracy of the pump is verified by the state to insure I get what I pay for. For UPS to insure they get what they pay for, work measurement is used. If the measurement is wrong, wheather at the gas pump or at UPS, it must be corrected. [/QUOTE]
