Wonder how serious they are about this process and if it'll actually roll out. Looks like a lot of leader headcount increases for it to actually effectively roll out.
You can also still do OFOs, the reporting is hollostic now and OFO will count toward your priority %. I don't disagree that backrooms and floors were less/more full, but the time and pulling a single can of peas when there is already 99 on the floor was a waste of time.
Priority fills take half the time and are much more efficient. OFOs for sure cleaned out backroom and kept stock levels low a lot better but are grossly inefficient.
Sounds like hours would go back into GM/salesfloor and "salesfloor" would be responsible for getting sfs picked and packed. Still a dedicated opu team.
