    Archived Green Instocks Achieved!

    Surprised to read stores are still doing instocks scanning. Our store was shut down 6 weeks ago by our AP Group Leader because our count update dollars were considered high. ETL's are the only ones allowed to do any research and their afraid to do any updates to counts. We have holes all over...

    Archived Best Team Survey

    You have the problem I had doing this years survey summed up quite well Researchr. Corporate hands down programs and goals for us to meet at the store level. Your store does the best it can to work within these parameters of these programs with the resources we have. You try to post honest...

    Ship From Store

    Our store has been doing it for a while. Works just like FF only add the packing up. Packing is new for everyone so train together and just use common sense and follow the guidelines. Remember a person will be recieving this so try to avoid sending shop worn merchandise when you do the pick. If...

    Archived New instocks process

    We went straight SAR months ago and combined it with the 4x4 walks. Broke the store up into grids and it works great. Honestly if you can't scan on truck days until push and backstock are done when you have a 48 hr truck filter what use is the task list. SAR shows you multiple locations, so you...

    Archived Instocks changes coming...again

    This might be the dumbest rollout I have seen in years. 3 days of task list driven research and two of them are truck days. No scanning till your truck is worked and backstocked. So that will pretty much be 1 day of research for most stores if you follow the program. You are supposed to scan all...

    Archived Ae2014

    There is no such company rule on Team Leads not being able to demote. I did it 3 years ago, the issue is its a big financial hit ($3 or more per hour) and you have no consistency in your hours. Most stores (and especially fuck bunny HRBP's) claim there is one because it ruins the chance of...

    Archived Instocks questions

    If we are talking about what constitutes the Scans with Locations metric, no I am not surprised. If you are going to emphasize speed over accuracy with your flow team they will look for short cuts. Backstock challenge should catch that(unless its Dairy/Frozen push) anyway if your people...

    Archived Instocks questions

    If we are going back to Outs scanning we might as well start waving the white flag. I'm a lot more interested in all the items that are acknowledged as being on our trucks that never show up. And I'm a lot more interested in why we are being discouraged in every way imaginable not to research...

    Archived Instocks questions

    Check your Raincheck Effectiveness report, your score should be in the toilet if you still need to scan. Our group leadership stopped us from doing RIGS when they decided to cook the Research with Locations % metric so we do very few rainchecks anymore. I still scan in the few I do figuring...

    Archived Unwritten Rules of the flow team

    1. Shelf capacity is how much overstock can fit in an aisle before the gondola collapses. 2. I don't understand English after 8:00 am. 3. Slow down, they will send us home if we finish the truck. 4. We don't have time to rotate dates in grocery! 5. If its too heavy, it must be...

    Archived Instocks Payroll Hours and Store Volume Comparison

    We are a B volume Supertarget and have been doing instocks with less than 40 hours a week. We have been under this same directive to EXF scan any section before doing research and doing EXF scans for new POGS before SAL research for a while. This was not something started at store level by our...

    Archived Worked in stocks today for the first time

    I read an email from our Group AP Market Leader in October that spelled out pretty clearly what happened to our instocks process(or lack of one since). AP is focused on controlling what they deem "UNNECESSARY RESEARCH" by focusing on count update dollars from your scanning on a weekly basis. In...

    Archived Critical Low Versus Zero

    Will keying in a critical low amount in research generate a DC label drop for replenishment or does the count have to be zero for this to occur?

    Archived POG fills

    My question to your ETL's would be why EXF's. Best practice is very specific on this for new POG sets. You do your reset, work any trapped staged pallets then do a NEW POG fill. Any holes left are to be STAND ALONE RESEARCHED. Look up the best practice, look it up on my support. There are...

    Archived pharmacy instocks

    Other than the bottom shelf of the diabetic test strip endcap (latex gloves and alcohol wipes) pharmacy people order all the rest through Mckesson. Task list will take you to the pharmacy location but you would have to change counts there and on your cold medicine aisle for it to update ( most...
