[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 687530, member: 927"] Star, I'm not sure what is going on in your area but let me give you some information on how the process works. (or is supposed to work). When a time study is completed and approved by the IE manager, the allowances go into GTS (its the timecard reporting system). As you say, there are allowances by unit number. This has been the case for as long as I can remember. It is the true keeper of the allowance and is closely audited. For planning purposes, those allowances are downloaded to the planning system. Also in the planning system every address range in the DIAD has an assigned unit number. If you went through a virtual time study (or a traditional time study) they would update the allowances in GTS and download it to the planning system. The unit number assignments to an address would be unchanged. If you went through a re-looping, then for an address range in the DIAD, the loop, unit, and sequence would change. That change would likely be synchronized with an appropriate allowance update in GTS. The overall center allowance would be unchaged, but the allowance for individual units would be updated due to the realignment. ANY change in the unit numbers or allowance changes are flagged. They record what changed, who changed it and when. A regular PDS login to the system does not even allow them to edit the unit numbers. They may have screwed things up, or they may have been making edits over multiple days (not a good practice). It is NOT true that the IE or the PDS can play with the units to make an IE number or to impact the 9.5 issue. I've done this too long and in too many centers to believe that.... This is an offence that is very easily caught and will result in termination. If you escalate the issue, ask to see the report that shows the changes. That would prove or disprove your theory.
