5 % decrease in Units Packed per Hour (UPH) for both singles paths. Without the CPT chase, the decrease in UPH would not exist and therefore we would be able to pack out more items, making more money. However for each item that misses a CPT, it costs, on average, $2.85 to upgrade the shipment. Because of this I performed two analyses to see the impact of our CPT Chase. The first analysis I performed was an analysis looking at the profitability of sending out additional packages vs. the potential cost of having to upgrade CPT misses. I started by calculating the average UPH drop for each singles path. To do this, I first looked at the rates for hours that did not have breaks and were not directly preceding a CPT, this gave me a benchmark for the average rate to expect for each singles path. In SS the benchmark rate from 6/1 to 7/6 was 290. For SL, the benchmark rate was 87. To see the average UPH drop, I looked at the CPT hours (10:00-11:00, 13:00-14:00, 15:00-16:00, and 17:00-18:00). Looking at these hours saw a significant drop in UPH. However, this can be largely attributed to standup after lunch (13:00-13:10), 2nd break (15:25-15:40), and restocking at end of shift (17:55-18:00). Because of this, I used adjusted times to more accurately track the UPH drop (10:00-11:00, 13:15-14:00, and 17:00-17:45). Upon tracking these from 6/1 through 7/6, I found a 14 UPH drop in SS and a 2 UPH drop in SL. Using this information and varying the number of packers in each path, I was able…

me throughout many experiences in my life and have been a testament to me that patience is a virtue and an attribute of Jesus Christ. As disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His church we need to be patient in our trials, with others, and finally patient with ourselves. Patience is often described as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. We live in a world of instant gratification. If we want something, we often want it now. Fast…
