also if we used milliards sooner or later due to exponential growth we'd inevitably* have to eventually measure the economy in billiards and that would just be embarrassing *may not actually be inevitable, offers vary in your area just like the climate

euphronius posted:what does “310 pick rate” or whatever refer to? It's pieces per hour. That's a loving nuts pick rate too, if you have to leg around a warehouse. However, often picks will be bulked, so if a scanner sends you to a bin and tells you to pick 17 of something, that's 17 for your pick rate. The warehouse I was in had a standard pick rate around 90. I could swing 120+ regularly, but it was small items for the most part. A 310 pick rate must be nothing but tiny poo poo in the warehouse. Sorry for the late reply, I had to go buy some weed.

Imagine a politician saying "I think the minimum wage should be 150 dimes an hour!" ah, I guess we used to do something like that before the euro, but only for very low amounts, like saying something costs three kwartjes ( 3x 25 cents) or six duppies (6x 10 cents), or 5 stuivers (5x 5 cents). this was used less than just saying "60 cent" though, but still common. https://twitter.com/MattLech/status/1516494529238609935 https://twitter.com/dunksdeux/status/1516230945262616581 ekuNNN has issued a correction as of 00:34 on Apr 20, 2022 |

CRUSTY MINGE posted:It's pieces per hour. That's a loving nuts pick rate too, if you have to leg around a warehouse. Which is actually quite a challenge in measuring and comparing pickrates between pickers to evaluate performance, because if you get to choose your pickroutes the experienced picker might be able to pick out the ones that have lots of multi-picks from a single location to boost their rate. And if you don't get to choose then randomly a picker might get a lot more of those than others making them look better while they aren't. So then maybe you want to measure the number of picking locations a picker hits up per hour instead, except some pickroutes will require a lot more walking as pick locations happen to be (much) further apart than others, just randomly based on what is being ordered at that moment and what the warehouse management system has grouped together (which isn't random, hopefully, but might as well be for the purpose of trying to evaluate and compare pickers). And also what if one picker is picking like, 5 airpods from 1 location and another picker is picking 5 55" TVs? Surely the TVs will take more time, so it's not fair to compare them. So you make the measurement more complicated, figure out the average walking distance between two picking locations over the last months and the average number of picks per location and the average time spent on location and try to work something up based on that. Except the actual warehouse shift manager has decided that things run smoother when he assigns people to certain sections of the warehouse for that entire shift, and all those averages are going to be different for each section and the manager running a different shift likes to do his assignments using a different set of subdivisions of the warehouse, which makes sense because people generally order different things in the evening vs the morning so you still can't compare dick. So you get some more averages to set targets and divide picks into easy, medium and hard categories (where an airpod is easy and a TV is hard) and go through every drat SKU in your inventory regularly and look at actual pick speed to categorize the new ones and also get data dumps of all the actual pickroutes from the warehouse management system to overlay on the virtual map you made of your warehouse from which the average walking speed from each picking location to each other picking location can be measured to figure out an individualized target for each actually existing individual pickroute that was created that day and you get something that actually starts to approximate reality. You are really quite far removed from pickrate/hour at this point though. Oh and also you've since seen in the data that there are still a bunch of outliers (for understandable, material reasons) in every single one of those averages, and experienced pickers are a lot faster than people in their first week and by the way are we sure we care primarily for speed rather than accuracy? Not that we can really measure inaccuracy because a wrong pick looks like a right pick in the system, which is the whole point anyway. We can only see which inaccuracies we catch on our own checks and who caused them, but even then what is the pickers fault and what is an understandable mistake (hint: don't put 10 different colours of airpods right next to eachother)? So at the end you conclude that all these fancy numbers can only ever give an indication that a picker might be sub-par, and even then you should only ever judge based on a trend and never a single data point. Then you, the data nerd, end up being the one trying to impress on all the managers to only use the data as an indication, never as sole evidence that someone is bad at their job, and please always actually look at what they are doing and talk to them because they are human beings and not machines. Or you know, you just have a pickrate/hour target and fire people if they miss it a couple times like Amazon does. Ask me about working in warehousing for a company at least less lovely than Amazon.
