I am curious how different stores handle doubles.
I know it helps to bring the team in earlier so we are able to complete more floor work before the store opens, we are a 4am. We normally have two truck throwers in each trailer and a scanner in each one, however, the flow of two trailers moving at the same unload pace jams the line intersection, so i have toyed with the idea of two throwers in the larger trailer and one thrower in the smaller one, once the big one is complete have one more person help the smaller trailer to finish. Nice thing with the speed of unload having two trailers unloaded at the same time is the throwers do no need to switch out.
And we all know the more team members the easier it is, we will have three waves and I keep people where tehy are comfortable and familiar to ensure we are staying productive. Our backroom team that comes in at 2am, usually help with repacks/pulls on the sales floor, but i have been challenged to bring them in at 4am, which i am for that idea, this will help ensure they have more time to backstock and we won't be tempted to use them with unload.
How do you guys play out your double days!?!?!?
Thanks in advance!
