[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 511162, member: 927"] I agree with you that there is a problem. I likely disagree with you on the cause. Time allowances are the symptom, not the cause. I think the cause is center management who don't know how to go about improving performance. There is plenty of room for improvement in the on-road operation. You've mentioned many yourself. Exit routine, car loading lineups, dispatch, trace, etc. If a center manager or on road supervisor doesn't understand the purpose of allowances, how they work, or how to change the operation to improve productivity, they use the only tool they have. The hammer. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The hammer is not bad, the nail is not bad. The answer is not to get rid of the hammer, but to add more tools to the management toolkit. P-Man [/QUOTE]
