So, what's the idea worth to interested parties?
Question: Phase 6 machines, what's your typical oos rate?

Again, I really don't think the PO cares very much about that. I was once like you, had a great deal of pride in my work, probably like most of us.
And then we started getting 204b's that knew nothing of maintenance, they were custodians or carriers the day before, now telling us when and how to do feeder alignments or how-to-troubleshoot. Hell, they can tell us what's wrong with the machine without even leaving the comforts of their bent chairs just by looking at the red-spots on their little mpewatch screens.
If that doesn't kill any motivation I don't know what will.
OOS is just one more metric they use to try and harrass us over, why would they want to eliminate that?

Well, having my pay cut by $1.00 per hour this year really pisses me off. Who's the mental midget who thinks they're doing any "real" cost cutting by cutting all casual pay by one frick'in dollar per hour.
The oos problems points to a much bigger reality. Thousands upon thousands of pieces of mail are missorted daily across the country. The cost associated with sorting and resorting all of this misdirected mail has to be very large. Much bigger than the $1.00 per hour they're saving by jerking the casuals around.
That's my biggest reason for not letting this go. If the USPS is going to have the audacity to cut our pay, then they sure as hell better pay attention when a real cost savings solution comes along.
I'm waiting to see someone else submit my idea without my permission, so I can have some real recourse!

The latest:
Apparently, someone forgot to tell our plant that the USPS is losing billions. Walked in today to see what was once a normal PC monitor that was used for MPE info. replaced with a 28-30" HDMI 1080P TV!
Looks like we know where that casual pay went! Funny thing is, we have at least 5-10 PC monitors that aren't being used due to MPE software that is no longer in use. I'm sure those could have been put together to create one large display, or in this case, 2.... They bought 2 1080p's for MPE viewing!
Great job!!!

the idea is for sale for any interested parties.
The fix will put your plant in 1st place in Nationwide oos standings.
Since the plant manager doesn't acknowledge where the idea's come from, I would rather he didn't get what he wanted, which was to be #1 in OOS Nationwide. So, I'd like to see any other plant become #1.....
Anyone interested?

Great! Continue to lose billions a quarter and pretend it doesn't matter. Thanks for your contribution!

We had a gal that was promoted from clerk craft to maint. tour 3 supervisor. Never even a 204B. The woman didn't know the difference between a screw driver and a sledge hammer. Not a problem. She was a "nice person." Now where else would you ever see this?

Looking for someone at a NDC (formerly BMC) that is SPBS qualified. I have a question about the incline feed belt.
