Truck goal time should be an hour no matter the size of the trailer. We have to get the team pushing boxes to the shelves asap and any time over an hour is wasted and unnecessary. I'll take 1-3 boxes ending up on the wrong pallets here and there for an hour unload on a 2500pc truck. This is...

Yep, vendor contract is up with crown. Still supply waves, but all jacks, powered and non- will be yale. I'm not a fan of the yale so far. They feel cheap in comparison and I can really bang around one of the crown jacks but the yale is like stiff and squeaks like the devil when you pump it up...

So, the only way for the system to "do it's thing" is to make sure the information that is put into is is accurate. So, capacity on the SF is 3, you see 2, you type 1, it pulls 2, making you PULL 2 and only fit 1... So, if your autos are crazy, you need to make sure the truck is being...

This is a never-ending cycle... In order to have smaller autofills, you would basically want everything to be full on the salesfloor as often as possible - which should be the goal of logistics in general. Now, here is where the cycle starts... The more full the sales floor, the more sales you...

I have 2 TMs who breakout repacks - the hardlines repacks and the stationary repacks. Then they push them out to their areas on the floor and work them. Two for all of HL and one for stat. Don't breakout the HBA repacks, they are sorted *fairly well now and if you have experienced TMs pushing...

Usually I'll have my HBA team take care of the HBA freight on the floor, the HBA pull, the #1 repacks (rx), #2 (makeup), #5 (shave, bandaid, fem hygiene, and stomach meds) and #12 (hair color, lotion, hair accessories) plus the cosmetics repacks. They are a strong team of 3 usually. I'm thinking...

That is no fun at all. I'm ETL LOG a my store and I currently have no BRTL. It is tough, that is for sure. I have a lot more routine duties to take care of now that she is out - but I have a pretty strong team and I leverage them to help me out. In return, I recognize them, buy them lunch when...

my store is a C volume PFresh. We have 9 pdas and are allocated 20 mydevices. The breakdown is as follows: 1 for receiving (she keeps it in her cubby, locked up when not there) One for me (ETL-LOG) for backstocking, MSPKs during push, FAs 6 for backroom team (Truck days for am br team 1 for pog...

we seem to struggle with a fairly large incline from in the truck to the line (The nose of the trailer is usually like 2 feet lower than the tail of the trailer) which requires us to have a pusher from inside the truck to push freight to the scanner(who doesn't push the freight to the line...)...

I'm wondering something, if maybe anyone has some experience with this. I want to get our Flow team up to speed and meeting goal times more often. Here is how it is currently: UNLOAD: 2 throwers 1 scanner 1 pusher 1 backstock side 5 push side 1 SL tm pulling pallets and setting up SL...

How are ways that you manage your flow tms? Do you use RWT to give goal times for specific areas and hold the team to that? I find that we can usually push the entire truck in the allotted payroll, so long as the unload goes well (and if I'm not back there the entire time, I shouldn't expect...

I work in an ULV, small org chart store. Between me, ETL-LOG, ETL-HR and ETL-SF/GE we work our asses off. I have been in four different stores now, all of them high volume stores. In the higher volume stores, we had tons of TLs that we could work with to accomplish our goals. We currently have...

I'm currently very happy with my rotation. I'm ETL Logistics at a PFresh. I mostly early shifts (because of the processes in my workcenter) during the week. Fridays, I have to close once every 6 weeks and I always have Tuesdays off. Of course, you have to come in when you have a big visit, or...
