[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 684319, member: 26800"] andrew99, Thanks for your thoughtful input to this discussion thread. You appear to have a decent eye for this problem in your facility. You have pointed out many fine observations, however your observations are more symptoms and problems that arise from the disregard of the Corporate UPS guidelines for handling smalls and not the reason local management disregards them. These guidelines and the importance of these guidlelines can be found on UPSers.com. It is clear, Corporate UPS [B][U]never [/U][/B]wants smalls put on conveyors unless they are containerized. The most often mentioned type of container is the reusable network containers (RNC), commonly referred to as smalls or forever bags. For obvious reasons the bags are preferrable to totes. Let me explain why your observations are symptoms of the problem, which is local management's failure to follow the Corporate UPS guildelines for handling smalls. If some local management on the load end didn't disregard the Corporate UPS guidlelines for handling smalls then there would be little if any need to containerize smalls that were already containerized during the load. The bags would simply be unloaded and sent to smalls. Corporate UPS guidlelines states containerizing smalls is the package car driver's responsibility at the pickup. The bags can then be simply unloaded and sent through the sytem to smalls. Corporate UPS guidlelines states that it is [B]never acceptable[/B] to allow smalls to travel over the conveyor system unless they are bagged. This eliminates any need for knowledge or control over incoming smalls for the given day. All anyone needs to know and to do is that if it is a small it gets unloaded containerized, sorted into a container(preferably a bag), sent to the truck containerized. The hub will simply load the bag. The preloader wll sort the smalls into the truck. [B]And above all smalls should never be allowed to progress on a conveyor unless it is bagged.[/B] Whether your a driver, a part-time supervisor or a division manager it is every UPSers responsibility to containerize smalls. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
