[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 2346765, member: 11234"] You're confusing standards. The planned time (MSD standard) is based on studying ergonomics. When a driver gets a route time studied (back before "virtual" studies), I remember on rare occasions having guys walk slow, drive around the same block six times, do cartwheels, etc. None of this ever mattered. A 15 foot walk is a 15 foot walk. No one measures what happens that day. They measure the characteristics of a route. And the biggest effect on planned time is the walk from the vehicle to the delivery point. Your supervisor may or may not work on "best demonstrated", which is different. IF you disagree on best demonstrated, well, that's what the labor process is for. [/QUOTE]
