Target Poaches Supply Chain Guru From Amazon Target Poaches Supply Chain Guru From Amazon GREAT! Now we can get the DC's and FDC's to start HELPING THE TEAM versus HINDERING it! With oh... lets see: 1) 4K TV Load Bars - Is the box supposed to rattle like that??? 2) Water pallets used as...

Hello! I'm interviewing for a flow team leader position soon and was just wondering what to expect. The interview is with the DTL, I've already been through 2 interviews with an ETL, and STL & HR. I've been given great feedback and was told I interviewed exceptionally well. If I get the...

Let me just start by saying that after hearing of the new CAF system that they will be starting at Target, I knew immediately that one of two things would happen: Hours would be cut, and people would be transferred to new positions or even new departments. After the news was passed down, of...

Hi everyone New member here long time reader. I have a question maybe someone has experience with. I'm trying to find out it there is a way to cheat your scores more specifically baffle %. I have been checking my Backroom scores and I always compare them to our district to see where I place...

Has anyone started the new CAF pull schedule? Just curious how large they end up being as compared to the old schedules. I'm not quite sure how to staff the changes. Our normal CAFs averaged about an hour.

when doing scans now you can't really change the counts, it just says how many are there. So if a capacity of 2 and you have 100 on hand you just put in 100? I find changing the counts to 0 is easy but finding the product in the back and trying to change the on hands from 0 to 100 is a lot...

How's everyone who is in a 6am process? I was gone for a couple weeks so my team was lead by other leaders but apparently my team spent about 145-155 a truck which doesn't seem too bad considering guest traffic and the extra tasks. I've heard some DTLs let their stores bowl everything until it's...

So when you're doing a pull, which aisles should be grouped together in those red bins? (Not sure what they're called) Say you're pulling Plug, Home, Dom, Chem etc. Which can go together and which cannot? This seems to be the only thing I'm not picking up properly. I understand Grocery 1 & 2...

Hey everybody, first time poster here. After skimming over the current black Thursday posts, I couldn't really find any good details about taking a "Lull trailer" on thanksgiving night. My store is planning on taking a truck at 10 pm Thursday night. I currently unload all of our GM trailers, but...

My store's taking the first double in years, since several years before I started working there. I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm kind of interested in seeing how we deal with it. We never push a truck during open hours, so this'll be different. We typically have a 4am start time, 3am...

In previous years there was a document on workbench detailing the date of the mass bike delivery for the holidays for each store. I cannot find the chart for this year. Anyone know where I can find it?

So entertainment is resetting this week. Entertainment is incredibly light that our store ETLs insist that we flex all d-code/NOP items back onto the floor (which usually results in a really bad score for whoever's doing MIRs). As far as I know, best practice is to backstock d-code and NOP...

So on top of my f**kton of Flow and Backroom shifts, I'm also starting to get Instocks shifts now. Never been trained on it, but ain't no time like the present to start. Problem is, I like to at least have some prior knowledge before starting a shift, even if I do receive training, buuuuuut the...

Hey Team! Need some insight.... Without giving to much detail, my store has had HUGE trucks the past month. Im talking 2600, 2450, 2300 (three times a week) for a C volume store... Not to mention Repack counts like 230, 213, 199, 243... Some of our trucks are Larger than the AA volume store in...

Okay. I have another dumb question. I forgot to asks some questions while training. And I'll probably ask the next time I see someone. I was never trained fully on how to do endcaps and four by fours. Like I was told on mon and thurs instocks do like....the rigs and then they do end caps and...

So, this morning ETL challenged my understanding of the pic label. I sort of have a general understanding of it since day 2, but I decided it's time to investigate further and evaluate my understanding of it. I'm doing this backwards. Example 1: Command: Aisle 8 , get item 72 If Main...

The person who usually does our receiving has had to call out for a few days, so they asked me to cover for them because I've had some training. But I never really got trained to do MIRs. I was told our sales floor teams will bring everything back to me once I get it started, as well as the...

Rather than put myself in this subject, I'll ask the question instead: What are the unwritten social rules of your flow team?

Let's use this thread as an ongoing discussion about all things backroom - complain about big-ass backstock numbers, location accuracy, and rules that get ...bent in the backroom, along with anything else :) I was until recently a backroom day TM, until switching to plano a few weeks ago. One...
