What is the new packing system? I heard that they were changing things and were struggling. But past separating out Combos and HBA, I have no idea what changes have been taking place.Huh my department is flex down this week and next. Can’t wait for the new packing system to get up and running. That should be a shit show.
Well that explains why our regional VP had to step in and oversee the process when it wasnt going well.They will be packing and shipping to store by aisle not zone. Buuuttt that’s only if they install the multi million dollar machine correctly lol
Yup! Today was a disaster. Q4 level flow that was 90% paper towel, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, water, cat sand, etc.
The worst was the water pallets. Every door had like 8 of them dropped off, wasnt even in the plan. Made figuring out distributing it properly for axle weights a right pain in the ass due to my DC being a part of the pallet grouping pilot.
I'm excited for the OT though. $ in my pocket. I just hope this doesnt screw the stores too bad. Today we had a grand total of 9 force closes on the cut sheet. That was close to our record low. We have so many full trailers on the yard waiting to go to stores due to the insane PIPO #s we are shipping out. This is the worst month of the year for hours at the store and they are going to be getting double trucks. Ouch.

Inbound doing a solid million next week. Not sure what other DCs IB plans usually are but that one is pretty large even for Q4 here. And almost all of it flow. They were threatening mandatory. Seems enough of us volunteered to stave that off for now. Crazy.
Speak English? aka can you translate that for those of us who don't work at the DC?
aka What are we in for at the store level?
One million cases coming into the DC on any number of trucks. Trucks can be any number of cases, pipos count as one per pallet. So I've seen trucks of 28 'cases', and trucks up to 6000 cases.Speak English? aka can you translate that for those of us who don't work at the DC?

You should know what flow means at the store level.. The DC serves quite a few stores, mine was over 100..
