Re: prep of door2doors
ok here goes peedof, try in one of the download sections and you will find the RM way to do not just D2D but everything else ok, as for the union well they are only there to make sure RM stick to agreements and are fair, now granted they are not very successful in the latter, i would add one of those little yellow faces but there isn`t one for "please listen "

The Guidelines.....
Moving D2D into workload in a revision
• Door to Door will be planned on the basis of prepping and delivering 1/6th of the items each day of the week, Monday to Saturday.
• D2D should be the last items prepped to a frame after address mail unless there is available down time such as waiting for missorts or late arrivals.
• Whilst D2D workload will be planned on the basis of spreading it across six days a week delivery employees will have the ability to manage the delivery of the items themselves on the proviso that all items are delivered and the delivery specification is not compromised
• Whilst this may involve cold calling at some address points for which there are no other items it is the best approach overall as it is easy to understand, communicate and monitor
• D2D traffic volumes will now be entered into the Indoor Workload Tool (IWT) to calculate the workload associated with D2D.
• The standard procedure for collating and sorting D2D items varies as follows according to number of contracts:
1 or 2 Contracts
• Obtain D2D items for contract and place on bench
• Pick up handful and place one item in slot for each delivery point on that day's schedule
• Tidy away D2D
• Repeat for second contract
• Clear down D2D with ordinary mail from slots containing live mail
3 or more contracts
• Position one pile of D2D on bench for each contract
• Take item from top of each pile and place collated items in slot for each delivery point on that day's schedule
• Tidy away D2D
• Clear down D2D with ordinary mail from slots containing live mail

If they get left to last, sometimes they just get left and someone will be in trouble for that.
So he wants them prepped first to ensure they get done?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: prep of door2doors
This one seems to be different strokes for different folks. Here, they don't give a damn how you do em, so long as they're done. To begin with, they were against leaving them in the slots, and folding them inside each other. These days nothing gets said. 20% per day is our 'target' for delivery.
