Re: Walk prepping
We did 3 for years.
But now only 2, to make it fair(ish). Because some people can barely do 1.

Re: Walk prepping
Double prep in our office
If i prepped 3 walks that would leave me around 3hours for outdoor work which would be fine by me

Re: Walk prepping
I think the guys at our office did 4-5 each today. Not sure if it was just the seq + walk sort or manual as well. Heard them moaning about it even though they finished it about 30 min ahead of schedule.
Depends on the number of calls, double / single slots etc. Our walks average about 650 calls. The 5 walk prep guys had about 2hr 15min for prep

Re: Walk prepping
You can understand this if the one duty gets 1500 items and each of the three get 500 items each.
That would be a fair distribution of the workload.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Walk prepping
It should be if your rep is doing their job in the resourcing meeting.
If you resource to workload it becomes impossible to carry people.

Re: Walk prepping
How do you manage that? You'd have 8 trays of mech to put in on average to start with in my office and then at least a couple of trays of loose and what about the d2ds? How much indoor time have you got?postieblueshirt wrote: ↑17 Feb 2022, 21:504 for us has been for years 4 sequenced then the same 4 manual.
