our OTC is 9 aisles, at 30 minutes per aisle that is 4.5 hours work spread over 2 weeks. NOT a serious problem.
Ahem....your taking a lame excuse like “other things to do” ??
I would simply say “This IS the thing you NEED to do”
I would bite the bullet and get it all done in one day and then beg for recovery help by way of store huddle or pull someone who is caught up To pitch in.
But, if you want to spread it out :
What if your DBO takes a half hour each day when they first arrive to scan/audit the dpci’s in ONE aisle, each day til it’s done.
If they get it out of the way first thing - they may not even feel the loss of time, OR they may hustle a bit more the rest of the day to come clean anyway.
could you pitch in for 15 minutes per day and complete 3 sections while they complete 3 sections - cuts the task in half !
