I'd say don't schedule yourself in Instocks at all. Use all the hours on TM's and set their scanning expectations. If the IS team starts at 6:30 be there waiting for them to discuss their goals for the day and then send them off. Scanning is easy you shouldn't need to help them. If your...

what work chart are you? I could only see this working at ULV stores. As you move up workcharts you're looking at upwards of 40 people in the building at a time with very strict timeline goals. One TL watching all that while the ETL most likely sits at TSC would be too much. Then what about...

the main issue is that while it may be defined by Target that your core roles don't include "helping" with the menial tasks that doesn't change the fact that people in this world don't respond well to managers that only bark orders then disappear. This separates the good ETL's from the ones...

Make sure when you are making your schedule two weeks out that you are looking at what is setting that week and not waiting to look after the fact. Doing this will allow you to tell your STL hey I'm going to need some extra hours because all of music and movies is resetting. If your STL is...

People using subt999 for anything other than salesplanner endcap take downs really are doing more damage than good. If your team is using subt999 on normal backstock daily your process has much bigger problems and subt999 is masking those problems. IMO TM's should have never been told about...

I think its safe to say opening will be earlier than last year after seeing HR go around to all TM's baiting them into saying yes to open availability with the hopes of winning a $100 dollar gift card for doing so.

I would check your capacities. Most of the bakery capacities are so screwed up right from the initial set. Expecting you to double stack and put 4 deep loafs of bread is dumb, so stores only put out maybe half that. Well the system isn't going to trigger a pull when it thinks it originally...

This. LOCU usage is also tracked and watched rather closely.

there is no timer, it records when the batch was started and when the batch completed, simple subtraction and spits out a time. Its a terrible tool considering batches can be completed in half the time with ease if everything is down the same valley.

Its up to your STL ultimately. They may tell another TL they need to move to plano if they don't feel you are capable.

This confirms a lot of my suspicion that the decisions to go Logistics TL in stores is at district or group level. I'd consider yourself lucky if you are at a sub AA store in a Instocks TL role. I can see having an Instocks TL at some of the huge volume Socal stores where they have 4 ETL logs...

are you AA, AAA, AAA+ volume. I thought instocks didn't have a TL anymore.

they will lead you to believe that you have a chance to be an etl and that they are going to help you get there. Will probably be some round robin mock panel style discussions with the stls from your district asking questions like, "how are you driving financial accountability in your store".

witness is not required to terminate. The TL can even be the one that does this if they are competent enough.

Throw them away. No reason to wait around for corporate to drop an MIR. Also throw away any old restaurant cards or big box cards. Once they drop off planogram just chuck them if they don't get pulled in the MIR's the following week. edit: the only cards to keep are the visa/amex gift cards...
