[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 295287, member: 9789"] Pink Belt, There is no easy fix for this.... Ask for help from your IE rep. If your manager does not want to utilize this person's abilities properly than you have a job to do....Your job is to provide your boss with the information that will staff your belt properly. First, I would have a sit down with the employee and tell her that the job is not going to get any easier and that the entire belt is being brought down because of it. Explain that she will have to prove herself here. She is going to be under the gun every working day. Is she up for that? Paint the picture ... this will show you how serious she is about making this job work. You will need to work with her - document the training and do hourly piece counts to establish a PPH for her best demonstrated performance. You will probably find out at the end of the night that she will drop off dramatically in PPH because of fatigue. Put together a presentation that shows the belt's PPH and what your expected FPH is ...get IE to help with this. The idea is to show your bosses what you need to be successful in running your belt. It sounds like you need another person because she can't cut it. You need to justify the addition of a person. You do that by showing the FPH and the PPH of the individuals in the area divide that number into the volume you get every day and that will tell you what the staffing should be for that area. If you are not going to get the staffing than it is a plan to fail. If your bosses don't support you ask them to show you how to do it and document everything that happens from this point forward. If you don't rock the boat nothing will change. I had an air operation and the boxes are lighter...to fill the quota of women I got more than the fair share of women that were hired. You can't put them all in the small sort. You learn to have a buddy system and pair them up with your best people. Sell your people on the right thing to do which is to help these women be successful. Good Luck... [/QUOTE]
