traffic figures are populated from historical traffic figures and then processing adjust these on a weekly basis based on their own actual volumes - prep times are then calculated on the proportion/ historical average of mail each duty gets as a total of the unit traffic. This should be reviewed weekly with your rep at the resource meeting.

IWT should only be adjusted by the dom if the on-the-day traffic is below or above forecast - however the new IWT is now a fairly accurate measure

How the hell does that work!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I would suggest you go above anyone who told you "because we are the only office who have complain hq will not act on it"

Incredible. Who told you such rubbish?

One assumes that the method for counting the traffic is the same in all the offices in the area.
The ACFs don't vary from office to office do they?
And your mech is machine counted.
So if nobody else is complaining it might just be possible that the count is pretty accurate.

When you have counted your mail, how much of a discrepancy is there between your count and your DOMs?
