One week after Georoute has been implemented
Well this is a disaster from the start, w/c 12th Jan this has been introduced and its simply not working!!!
Sorting is and other indoor working are completely flawed, cut offs are on a mass scale. I can see this continuing for many many months to come.

Has the DOM started blaming you yet? Or have they accepted they were wrong and are going to try to work with the staff to fix the problems.Phantom wrote:Well this is a disaster from the start, w/c 12th Jan this has been introduced and its simply not working!!!

What criteria are being used?
Is my D.O really going to turn out to be the most successfull pegasus revison out of those that are represented on this site?
It all went relativley smoothly a few hiccups teething problems but then one expects that with any revision. You implement and fine tune. Fine tuning has taken place resign has finally finished training has commenced and everything seems to just the way it was before.
Only change really is the whippets/early starters cant go out early anymore they have to wait untill all prep has completed so missorts can connect. They dont like it and they moan at me but tough luck on them im afraid to say. Why they dont have a extra half hour in bed is beyond me, far better than standing about with nothing to do. Is getting home for Fern and Philip really that important? My view is simple, the customer has paid for their mail to be delivered, customers want to recieve their mail when its due. They should not go without some of their mail simply because posties want to start early.

Re: One week after Georoute has been implemented
Is there any chance of posting what agreements you have ie. call rate, walking speed, attendance rates, prep rate etc. just so I can use it for information in fighting their proposals.Big Daz wrote:Phantom wrote:Well this is a disaster from the start, w/c 12th Jan this has been introduced and its simply not working!!!

Re: One week after Georoute has been implemented
88% call ratePrep test we use 11 items a minute buts that the standard RM in my area have been using since before pegasus and hasnt been formally agreed by the CWU.
Delivery length pegasus is set to is 3hrs 15 mins.
Walking speed is 3.8 miles mph.
Attendance calls rate 1.7 % a national figure I belive as one of the branches took this to conference and its now offical CWU policy to re negotiate that figure higher.

Re: One week after Georoute has been implemented
How many deliveries do you have BigDaz and why is the delivery 3hrs 15 minutes? The agreed national delivery is 3.30 from first letter to last letter and on site/off site 15 minutes each way. Don't I recall you having a 450 drop delivery for a 30 hour contact with no IPS, just prep and go?Big Daz wrote:Prep test we use 11 items a minute buts that the standard RM in my area have been using since before pegasus and hasnt been formally agreed by the CWU.

Re: One week after Georoute has been implemented
About 475 drops pegasus times it at 3hrs 6 mins Its basically the round i did as a cadet with 35 stops bolted on at the end
yes to 30 hrs etc
the spare 15 mins helps to counteract the walking speed RM had 2 speeds buit into pegasus and area management agreed to use the slower speed.
Also it is used for getting pouches out of boxes etc etc . 3.30 hours is first stop to last stop including any non delivery work hence the 3hrs 15 mins.

3.8mph is speed 2 which is the speed we used. Speed 1 is faster and apparantley speed 2 has been shut off now by RM HQ.
