[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 771722, member: 7966"] If a route run by the same driver with the same effort varies from +1 hr to -1 hr then there is something wrong with the study. If the same driver runs the route and day in and day out the variance is within +25 minutes to - 25 minutes about a over/underallowed value then the time study is valid. Just because people don't know how the allowances are developed and applied and the expected results does not mean you throw it out. This is how UPS uses Work Allowances and is respected as one of the best if not the best in the world. If a route consistently runs at .5 hrs underallowed then this is the standard for that route. If it runs consistently .5 hrs overallowed then this is the standard ... of course this route will be verified. :wink2: To your point, I do understand your frustrations with the allowances and your managements lack of understanding in using work allowances on a daily basis. UPS work standards are accepted as a rule to be accurate for 95% of the routes 95% of the time to within +/- 5%. The new technologies UPS is developing and applying may narrow the % but there are acceptable variances that will always be in play. One more analogy - you have heard polls saying that they are accurate to within +/- 4% ... not exactly the same but analogous. [/QUOTE]
