Don't mind me, been a long day and I need people to potentially coach me in what I'm doing wrong.
2600 piece truck today, kinda short handed. Our flow starts at 4AM for a single truck.
At 4, I'm pushing yesterday's leftover DVD's, 7-8 repacks. Get them all pushed just as the truck is finishing- (5:45) perfect timing in my opinion. I usually only get over to Electronics at 6:30, so I'm getting an earlier start which is great.
I get over there, set everything up, get my security sheet sorted and look at my pallet to figure out what I have. "New" process has me breaking out a little longer than my old process, and I'm not allowed to touch my pallet until all my security stuff is pushed. Unfortunate, but understandable.
8 security repacks, 22 boxes of books, 3 repacks of DVD's and other various non-security repacks.
I manage to break out and push everything (excluding my pallets) before 8, so I'm going good there, and although I haven't been informed to take a half, I ask the STL and he says to go for it, because he knows I have a lot and I don't have any help.
Go for my half, and when I come back my STL has given me the dayside Electronics TM to start helping me push my pallets. Books are my priority because there's so many of them. I was taught to push books by grabbing a stack of them and wandering around the six aisles and push them as I scan them. There may be an easier way, but this is how I was trained and no one - until today- has said different.
My ETL comes over at around 9:30, stops me from continuing my book push to tell me that the system says Electronics push should have only taken 5 hours today, and that we should start breaking out books onto greenracks sorted by aisles to speed up the process.
Also I personally feel like it will take longer, I half brush him off for the current time because I'm really trying to finish pushing everything by my deadline of 12, and he's taking up precious time where I could be pushing things when he could have talked to me while I was breaking out security.
All boxes of books went out - excluding two that were revision- with only the middle shelf of a three tier as backstock.
Do you guys think that all of my stuff could have been pushed in five hours without help, if yes, what's wrong in my process and how can I speed things up? I try to condense things as much as possible while still following the rules AP sets out for me, and things are changing so quickly around here with new faces and new processes, that it's becoming frustrating.
I'm sorry this is all over the place, and if you've made it to the end- I appreciate it.
