[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 563137, member: 927"] I guess I never have the will power to stay out of these work measurement / allowance discussions. So here I go again.... Over the years, I've taken and worked up 100's of time studies or work measurement allowances. I've audited countess others. I've never found one intentionally wrong. I've found reasonable human errors, but never a "manipulation". I've attended many work measurement classes and even taught a few. They were absolutely "intended" to be fair. That being said, I agree that work measurement is not accurate enough to exactly say how well a individual driver is doing, and certainly not accurate enough for any individual day. Work measurement is meant to be 95% accurate, 95% of the time. I also do not know the exact circumastances of the example here, but you shouldn't discount the significance of .86 SPORH. .86 SPORH times every driver in UPS equals $350M in cost. What is the reason for the loss in SPORH. Was density better during the rides? Was the load better? Did the supervisor help him? I don't know this driver's intentions or work habits. While you have seen some poor supervisors who use improper tactics to gain performance, I've seen some poor drivers who work hard at taking advantage of UPS. I believe both are the exception.
