Cwmbran DO : Not on the 'Offices 'officially' in trouble?' list?

Coming to the end of the 7th week of our implementation of our structural revision.

Many issues have arisen and are still in the process of being rectified. We have been unable to start the review process as from week one we have been unable to assess due to us being unable to clear.

This has been down to recruitment problems, staff resignations, long term sick and vacancy levels. Within the operation frame labels have been a problem as it has been for most delivery offices.

Promises of our DPR's having their parcels pre sorted into yorks have been broken.

The implementation of the Parcel Sorting Machine has again set us back as our parcels no longer arrive segregated, the tracked and standard parcels are now mixed so we know have to manually segregate DPR's on top of this,this is not efficient at all.

It is one step forward and two steps backward. The team however are still optimistic but if promises continue to be broken their is no guarantee this will last.

There probably was no chance of packets being pre-sorted to walks on a PSM, there'd probably be no where near enough outputs on a PSM.

The problem of Tracked and non-Tracked being mixed together has been around for a long time in MCs. You go to tip a sleeve of Tracked for example onto the conveyor only to find that it's mostly normals. Best guess is that the local MC have had a load of hours removed and so with less staff have started mixing it to get it out the door

efficient for the MC, 3 times the work for the Delivery Office. (double and triple handling)

Not efficient at all, and until DOs start sending back, or charging the MC for the overtime caused it ain't going to change.

But of course, MCs have no option, they can't change apparently.

What happened to that rumour of tracked arriving at the do with a barcode that includes all the parcels within the sleeved York ?

Surely that would be a real positive start.

Only way around it would probably be to send the mech as either walk sort or as manual to free up more staff to sort packets and Tracked. Sending it back is pointless as we'll just send it straight back. Earlies only just have enough hours for their own workplan and lates won't have the capacity as all work areas will be in use for 1C (outward). These days if something isn't part of a shift's workplan, they won't touch it.

When anyone quits or retires, they don't get replaced with a new person, the hours get removed and an extra casual is brought in as needed

Cwmbran was a top office when i worked there back in the day.

There's never a day goes by when this business fails to surprise me. Structural revisions in the process of being rectified by revision support and they suddenly get pulled back to their original roles without being able to finish their jobs. Frame labels still incomplete, indoor work plans still up in the air, deliveries still not correct. Do I need to go on.

We are into the 8th week and we can't start to look at PIR as we haven't been able to have a clear office in that time. The quality has suffered due to a lack of recruitment and the team have had to work their days off due to the fear of coming into two or three days mail if they don't. I for one had my first day off in 7 weeks on Friday but came in today on my day off to two days mail,which I have just finished. Tomorrow I will be in again otherwise I will be back to square one again.

just to clarify the situation for revision support. As you may be aware at the moment we aren’t progressing with the year 2 plan, that’s being resolved nationally. So we have no new revisions to plan and all our substantive planners plus the temp support team. We also have a really difficult task of getting our Quality of Service back to pre covid performance. So we have repurposed some of the support to assist in quality until we have clarity of the year 2 plan. Given we have no new revisions the substantive team will be supporting the units in PIR and fixing any snags or issues. I know Cwmbran has been assigned a planner to support, so whilst the person there may be moving onto something else you still have the support just now of one of the substantive planners.
