Temp Agencies vs Flat Rate Ser

Lets take a look at who works in a warehouse:

• Machine Operators
• Order Pickers
• Unloaders
• Re-Packers
• People to label
• Floor Supervisors

Now lets see which of these positions can be replaced with a flat rate service and the cost benefits of that switch. 

• Machine Operators
• Order Pickers
• Unloaders
• Re-Packers
• People to label
• Floor Supervisors

So take a look above and you see that Unloaders and Re-Packers can be replaced with a flat rate option, so lets see what the costs associated with each service is. 

Unloaders:

• Temp Worker’s
  • Cost $28-$35/hour (min 8 hours) Total for 1 worker $224-$280
  • Cost to unload a container unknown as temp workers will be about 50% slower then trained flat rate container unloaders (lumpers)
  • Likely Cost to unload a container with a temp worker will be $224-$280, as a temp worker will not be motivated to work any faster as they are being paid by the hour, most likely they will spend the entire shift on 1 container. 
• Flat Rate
  • Cost $195* per container (min 1 container) Total for 1 container $195

Re-Packers:

• Temp Worker’s
  • Cost $28-$35/hour (min 8 hours) Total for 1 worker $224-$280
  • Cost to repack is unknown as temp workers will be about 50% slower then trained flat rate re-co packers 
  • Likely Cost to repack a containers worth of product with a temp worker will be $224-$280, as a temp worker will not be motivated to work any faster as they are being paid by the hour, most likely they will not finish by the end of their shift and not show up the next day.
• Flat Rate
  • Cost $.50* per carton, for example to repack 500 pieces it would cost: $250 and the job will be completed on time the same day

It is easy to see why Flat Rate is the way to go.
