USO Reform Posties Pocket Guide.

[A2B]

In theory it all should work, but without a proper revision it will be doomed to fail.
For every 50 tracked items some walks in ours get, others easily get 100. Adding 2 walks together and doing packets and 1C only will be around 250 items for some staff at the higher end and 120 items at the lower end.
Fair and balanced workload, eh.......

We have been told there will be a repick before we start the new method with a revision sometime next year

We are a trial office and they handed that out on the first day. It looks like 3 people doing the work of 4. Our office came up with a different set up and it seems offfices will be given the opportunity to implement a system that works best for them. Thats according to those guiding us.

It all seems a bit crazy.

Eh, what so they just winged it on the day it was supposed to go live ? I thought the whole process was supposed to be planned well in advance of implementing it, attendance options voted on, duty structures, repick, IPS fittings changed to having a separate one for 1c mail etc.

This is Royal Mail…

When do the trials finish?

When it’s been introduced into every office in the country.

Some time in the future, maybe? I've not heard of one office going into this new way of working having a revision to prepare. It stands to reason that pairing up 2 duties from the more busy side of town will have double the parcels than the quiet side of town. Same goes for mail, 3 days mail for some duties can vary wildly. All the data is there as to how much mail/tracked each duty has had for nearly a decade.

i fear you are expecting too much for RM to even think about pairing a a quiet walk with a busy one.

[postmanzach]

So far we have heard we (one of the later offices to implement it)
Will do it in stages.
First step is changes all the duties frsmes so they are picked up vertically, is that same elsewhere? Seems like a pointless change.

I don't expect them to do it, hence why I say it's doomed from the outset.

Vertical frames are being put in place regardless. They want you to get used to the vertical prep thing before you have any other changes put in place.

Day one, 2 people in a van share clear everything on walks A and B. The third person on their own does 1st class and packets on walks C and D.

What’s happens when you hit time & you still have 4 loops left & the third persons got a three quarter full of tracked packets in his/her van?

It all goes back to the office and the backlog builds.

All d2d to be put in on the first day (into a frame double slotted with three days Mail ! )

You'll never get to the point where the tracked haven't been delivered, not twice anyway!!

They only use data when it’s to their advantage!!
