Start time review words of the agreement

Post by Martin Walsh »

Appendix J – Start Time Review
Once the Review period is complete and the DO has been jointly signed off as complete, the following 183 DOs may undertake a
joint review of start times:
• The 28 DOs where the start times are currently after the scheduled wave 2 arrival time
• The 155 DOs where start times are currently 0-30 mins prior to the scheduled wave 2 arrival time
Careful consideration must be given to the following criteria, in respect of any proposed changes
• No additional workload can move from Core to LAT
• No deterioration in indoor productivities
• No increase in outdoor service failures
• No deterioration in departure times
The assessment for these 183 DOs should include, as a minimum
• The current Wave 1 / Wave 2 workload splits
• If a meal relief is scheduled before Wave 2 arrives in the DO
• Where quality of service targets are regularly being achieved
Where all of the above criteria is met the decision to implement any changes to start times for these 183 DOs, will be taken by the
RSG, supported by the OPLs and ADRs with their local knowledge. Performance will continually be reviewed by the RSGs and in
the event that performance deteriorates as a consequence of changes made to start times the change will be reversed.
Further to [Appendix I] regarding CSS operations each MC pipeline will undertake a review of Monday and Saturday start times in
all DOs subsequent to the successful deployment of the revised CSS operations workplan. Start times for Monday and Saturday
will be reviewed in light of changing workload of sequenced mails arriving on each of the days and additionally in light of indoor
workload increase created by D2D preparation requirements. This review will ultimately be overseen by the respective RSGs who
will jointly make any final decision on changes to start times.

Another review process that will be kicked into the long grass with no positive outcome.

We are not changing the start times today but we are keeping the option open if we think it will improve productivity. Also, Mondays and Saturdays start times may change in light of when sequenced mail arrives and additional indoor workloads i.e. D2D prep
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Will this be the same start time review you promised us in Scotland after the Network Window changes?

One DO locally has had a good few batch changes over the last 2-3 weeks, it's a fairly big one, I reckon that they'll soon be going over to DM26. A small DO has already gone over to DM26.
