Major Issue Requiring Attention

Pacific Area has over 10,000 routes that do not have lunch time assigned in MSP

This has an impact on every MSP scan after the lunch time is taken● Lunch times must be input to ensure valid MSP

data● Without correct data, MSP data cannot be used to

address street issues accurately Effort required at every identified delivery unit to

correct this problem ASAP. Following slides show the process for updating

lunch times and pivot plans

LUNCH BEFORE 1ST DELIVERY

Upon opening the pivot plan, 1. Select the first sector segment and make it a

logical group by itself. 2. Group the remaining sectors according to the

desired logical groups on the 1564A. 3. Insert the lunch break on the second logical

group after the first delivery (which should now be the first logical group). This will expand the scheduled interval of the travel time to route by the duration of this one delivery. (The first delivery cannot have an MSP Point)
