The stores that seem to be suffering don't seem to understand that they need to stop doing manuals and let the system correct itself and work.
For now... till the rest of the bus comes apart, the wheels done fell off, we are not touching it.. but by the end of the week I expect the edict to come down and a schedule of manuals to be posted and completed, just like the pilot, starting next week.
you have even a semi-decent instocks routine, then this rollout should be making your life much easier.
IS is not my team.... except for trying to get PA(s) to do it so that stuff will show up! Versus using sort of telepathic communication as to what is out... and I don't think they have semi-decent routine by even a long shot...but not my team, and I don't agree with doing IS while the truck is being pushed or on truck days at all. Nothing is going to change my opinion on that, so don't bother.
The TL's and ETLs/STL's that are dumping time into manuals don't understand that the whole point of this system is to reduce the repetitive action of pulling 1 of an item every hour. Instead your Autofills are large enough to keep the floor full till the end of the day,
I have no issue with the elimination of pulling 1's-2's.. BUT FAIL! Didn't happen, I watched 1's-2's come out! FAIL!
How about pulling the stuff sitting in the back with an EMPTY SHELF!!!
And WHO is going to push these HUGE AUTOFILLS in the AM on NON TRUCK DAYS! Flow? OK, SHOW ME THE HOURS! And on TRUCK DAYS where is the HOURS for this INCREASE in AUTOFILLS!!!???!! HMMMM??? In the last 4 weeks I've seen 100 hours cut from the allocation.. and NO M-M and YTD sales are +... just cut cut Cut! CUT!
the salesfloor team now has plenty of time for reshop and for filling endcaps.
WHAT SF TEAM would that be????
Let the system work and for once in your life stop fighting against a system that works.
When you SHOW ME it works, fine.. I've been here already, so..... And my BRTL is grinding their axes, claws, knives, swords, and is getting ready to take action! Here BAD MOVE ! You don't piss off the BRTL here...
e Autofills need to be this large and to stop dropping manuals to "off set" your only two cafs of the day.
And where are the increased FLOW HOURS to push this?
Target will be going through more drastic changes then this over the coming year, and to be honest I'm excited for it.
Plain and simple the goals of this:
1) Somehow create $7B of savings to offset CA fubar
2) Get senior TM's to quit, and thus cut high cost labor.
3) Excessive greed oriented "shareholder 'fiduciary responsibility'" Profit !=greed! You need to INVEST in your INFRASTRUCTURE and EMPLOYEES!
I am ALL for improvement that works, and saves $$$....this don't fly. Yeah.. save the give it a try.. I've been there done that...
Idiocy is repeating something expecting different results.
