[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 79337, member: 1957"] So.....in other words, you're saying that whatever mood the time study guy happens to be in that day determines your expectations from then on? You use the word "average" alot. I'm sure you've had some math in your formal education years and know what can effect and/or alter a statistical "average". Some people believe that a time study is nothing more than a throw of the dice and a subtle means to intimidate the employee. On "average", what is the statistical frequency of a route/run actually gaining time? I would be willing to bet that, more often than not, a route/run loses time rather than gains time. What a coincidence. Reminds me of the old "MAR". If you are given/allowed 10 minutes to do a certain aspect of your job and you do it in 8 minutes, guess what?....your new MAR for that portion of your job becomes 8 minutes. Be sure to pre-trip and post-trip your vehicle since, last time I heard, that was part of your planned/paid day. Have a safe, "average" day. [/QUOTE]
