[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5669659, member: 23516"] I openly solicited input from employees, especially those who thought they had all the answers. Most employees have ideas that aren't good. It's not necessarily because they can't come up with good ideas, or they're stupid, but that they don't think beyond what they observe with their own two eyes. For example, we have P1 lates in an area. How do we solve that? The immediate answer is bring someone in to run a baseline route. We can ignore the first rule of overflow help (they always get abused by the people they're helping) and dig a little deeper. You've got three couriers in that area running standalones and finishing P1's by 1015 or a couple of minutes after. We can often move some stops around and quit the standalones and take care of it that way. It makes the routes more efficient, it prevents more unproductive stem time, it keeps a truck free if your station is short trucks, it doesn't hit your P/FTE, it preserves SPH, it preserves onroad hours for when you really need them, and it preserves your general labor hours. Most people don't think about that kind of stuff, and many don't care. [/QUOTE]
