Our store is using 3 GM leads. The 1st GM Lead will be called operations inbound Lead and oversee the sort/ unload process. 2nd GM Lead will come in around open and be over priority push 1 (essentials, HBA, pets, infants, paper, and chem). The 1st GM Lead will start the priority push 2 (toys...

Inbound operations TL (1 of the GMLs) will oversee the unload (unload sort) process. 1 thrower, 5 sorters, 1 bulk runner (if your lucky), 2 SL sorters (3 if your lucky). Truck unload takes multiple hrs. The sort means everything. Including repacks and transition. Plastics is detrashed on...

It was a nice idea but...... First I would like to say I apriciate the person or people that came up with this. Not for their grasp on reality but for their ambition and willingness to never give up. For their realization that all they needed to do was drastically raise their expectation of...

We only had 2 as well. Why why why Target? Thank god guests in my store don't seem to give a rat's A about the toy of the day. I could totally see how if they did we would have some problems. It was like this last year as well.

People just use the card. Don't be a lazy bum. I've gone out to my car to get my card and avoided being a d-bag by asking somebody to break the rules.

Work fast! I'm a replenishment TL, witch is a combination of a Flow TL and Backroom TL. There are major differences between a logistics position and everyother position in the store. Logistics positions are much, much more labor intensive and require an intense sence of urgency. You are...

If the purpose for having TMs is to get stuff done then you have to factor in performance. I have a second job. I'm available one night a week. I get scheduled that one night a week, it's a pretty coveted shift. It's mine for as long as I want it because I work my guts out when I'm there...

I say stick to your guns. You might seem like a total D bag at first, but that can be smoothed out with sincere recognition. Being part of a process change can be stress full for anybody. Most people want to be good at what they do from the top to the bottom, and if they don't care consider...

Partnering with your peers can be very beneficial especially between certain work centers. I've experienced both conditions and can tell you for a fact that it is rare but posible. The partnerships between ETLs will have a lot to do with how easy or hard this can be to achive. Having a store...

It is scored based on the # of pulls vs # of errors just as tgtguy posted. Are you the BR team lead or a TM? If your a TM just keep being awesome. If your a TL ..... Well you can LOCU as some have suggested but this will only make you look on reports. A bit of warning there is a report that...

I realize c vol isn't considered high volume and I'm not sure what payroll looks like in high volume stores, I'm just saying that was considerably more difficult. We did have to adjust how we did things a bit. What we did was start our unload 2 hours earlier along with increasing our unload...

It was tough I aint gonna lie. However we were 1 of 2 stores in our district that were more profitable than last year so I guess that says something. We are a class c super and the other was an ultra low.

When I was asked by corporate visitors, I told them training was the biggest opp. Are the TLs cross training as well?

Yes. However he is a lot more involved on the sales floor now that he has no actual logistics team.

We went from a 3 trucks a week to 6 (yet another test). Not counting 4th Q our trucks went from 2500 pieces to around 900. The vision was that more product would go strait to the floor and not get back stocked off the truck, even though we are a PUSH all any way? Does it work in reality? I'm...
