Walk sorting machines.

Post by Rommagic »

At my office we only have two LSM's also two CFC's.Its not a massive office about 300 people work there.We already have post people throwing off two walks per morning and taking one walk out,Then Part time people come in at 9am,About six walks every day.These new walk sorting machines would come in instead of the LSM's,how many full time jobs would go from 80 walks?.How long before my office could see better machines?.

Trials in my office lasted 2 days as mail wasnt processed in time for delivery departure.

Draw your own conclusions.

delivery will likely go to to 4 hrs plus with walks being absorbed as people retire or leave , new machines results in 'spare capacity' due to less sorting and prepping time. End result will be sickness covered for free as remaining staff have time to do it within normal working hours or walks replaced by p/t but prepped by full timers ..... thats the plan anyway
