Dispatch desk — logging the hour, not the shift

Summary
After Monday's review we worked out where the hour a truck leaves is already written down. The security gate register records every gate-out with a time; the dispatch tracker has only ever recorded the shift. From 1 September the tracker takes the gate-out time from the register, so on-time dispatch can be read by the hour.

What we learned
1What the company should not have to learn twice.
The security gate register is the only record in the company of the hour a truck leaves. It has been kept for years and never read.
