The port issue pretty well affected the whole country and will continue for years to come.
We even leased container ship(s). These are multi year leases and are somewhat expensive given our needs.
Target is one of the largest importers in the country. We even have dedicated import warehouses...
That was a port issue. No amount of planning other than trying to obtain auxiliary temporary warehousing could help that situation.
I seriously doubt if there was any short term warehousing available either given our size.
The day to day might be suspended temporarily, but unless they come up...
That was an anomaly. What I'm referring to is the latest RDC releases. We were notified it was coming. Going forward, it would not be unreasonable for a better outcome.
We're going the same direction. I foresee a lot of problems given we cannot manage a schedule nor workload now.
Our leadership doesn't manage. They don't believe in preparation. They're of the philosophy that we'll "just muscle through it."
Backroom is woefully disorganized. We have things...
Oh no it is not. Modernization is Target's inventory management control program. Everything is managed through this. Our systems are elements of modernization.
You leadership sounds like mine. When hearing about this changes said the same thing. The worse thing, they are going back somewhat to...
Well we really went flop. Our new ETL's never made it and it looks like we're on to round two.
One of our TL's and I believe the corresponding ETL are using the change to revert back to the older ways. They've even said as much. This will not work.
Modernization is not going away. It is our...

Without being too mean about it, organizing would be sorting in this situation.
I ran it by some other people and they all said the same thing. To organize it would be reasonable to conclude that it would be to put/group in such away for distribution/storage.
I believe in the near future, spot is not going to be very forgiving to the stores who do not plan for such events prior to their arrival.
We fell flat on our faces. Our leadership refused to use the storage containers and thought we could just "muscle" through it.
All I can say that it was...
You CANNOT use cameras to spy on your workers. There's enough out there on that.
What you can do is look at the tape if an event occurs such as an accident. It's more for protection of the company against false accusations.
If you use one to monitor your employees, you have to monitor all...
Thanks for the update. We're not proactive at all. We just open the door and make the comment, "That's a lot of freight."
Shortly there after the dumpster catches fire and leadership complians about the smell and how slow we are.
