Narrative:

After a local reorganization effort, supervisors took 2 position and without any change in workload combined them. Previously, my specialty had 2 printers supplying strips for 3 position each. After the reorganization (called 7TH area locally) the same 6 sectors are supplied strips by just 1 printer. Controllers continually get behind. Active strips are late to the sectors and the worst case is revisions. Route changes can be made up to 5 mins before crossing the boundary. In many cases, the controller is already talking to the aircraft and making decisions based on old information. This is very dangerous. A d-side on the adm hi sector told me while I was working the a-side today that his strips were late. He was accurate in his assessment.

Title: FACILITY REORGANIZED AND REMOVED 1 OF 2 PRINTERS FEEDING 6 CTLR POS. RPTR CLAIMED 1 PRINTER DOES NOT KEEP UP WITH TFC, RTE CHANGES, AND REVISIONS.

Narrative: AFTER A LCL REORGANIZATION EFFORT, SUPVRS TOOK 2 POS AND WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN WORKLOAD COMBINED THEM. PREVIOUSLY, MY SPECIALTY HAD 2 PRINTERS SUPPLYING STRIPS FOR 3 POS EACH. AFTER THE REORGANIZATION (CALLED 7TH AREA LOCALLY) THE SAME 6 SECTORS ARE SUPPLIED STRIPS BY JUST 1 PRINTER. CTLRS CONTINUALLY GET BEHIND. ACTIVE STRIPS ARE LATE TO THE SECTORS AND THE WORST CASE IS REVISIONS. RTE CHANGES CAN BE MADE UP TO 5 MINS BEFORE XING THE BOUNDARY. IN MANY CASES, THE CTLR IS ALREADY TALKING TO THE ACFT AND MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON OLD INFO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. A D-SIDE ON THE ADM HI SECTOR TOLD ME WHILE I WAS WORKING THE A-SIDE TODAY THAT HIS STRIPS WERE LATE. HE WAS ACCURATE IN HIS ASSESSMENT.
