Archived How do you set a POG?

I’ve been shown only once how to do this and I’m not comfortable doing this. My TL said she would show me but always puts it off.

If you have a pog number, you scan or type it in. Then Select tie on the zebra. Then put the aisle and section you want. Then it will say do you want to create a batch. Say yes. Then it will put a batch for labels if you don't use a label strip. Move the shelves if you need too. Then go pull and push your POG.

What question do you have specifically? It's best if someone actually shows you.

From another thread:
Plano tips:
I find that no matter how much you rush to get things done, it won't make you set that much faster. It's about how you prepare and plan it. Go to online Planogram on workbench or use the zebra to see the pog by typing or selecting your pog. Then, view images or pog pages.

Here are some tips if you haven't been taught this already. Some are fairly obvious, but just in case.

- Prepare before you start setting. Get all your labels and strips. Take a good look at your plano and plan your attack, what fixtures do I need? do I need backer paper? will it be easier to set 1 section at a time or all at once? Look at the cover sheet, it gives you info on what fixture you need and how many. If you look at the quantity, it may say +3, that means you need 3 more pegs and the rest that's already on that aisle can be reused)

- Try not to count the holes at first for peg height. Use your measuring tape. Each hole is exactly 1" apart. ex. from base shelf to top hole = 76" and where top and bottom back paper meets, it's always 36" (except endcaps = 34"). You can mark your tape measure to even find the letters, like the pic below.

- For revisions, you gotta decide what will be quicker. If there's 2-5 pegged items changing, just fix those and leave the rest of the stuff around it. If it's like 10+ pegs, or the old set is all messed up and zone is terrible, it might actually be quicker to take it all down and start from scratch. Don't clean too much unless it's really bad. Dust and move on.

- When doing a whole aisle or multiple sections, try to do a certain tasks all at once. Here's an example of my process.
1. Demerchandise everything. Don't organize it too much, just throw the sucker in a cart/repack box.
2. Remove unnecessary fixtures and add any that's required. Then remove old labels and strips. (you don't want to clean before this step, because why clean a shelf if you end up not using it?)
3. Put up any backer paper.
3. Set all the strips.
4. Adjust shelf height based on what the strips say using a measuring tape, don't look at the planogram for this info.
5. Set the pegs. (try to count based on previous pegs set or pegs around it. ex. if a peg on the left is at 'K', start count from there.
6. Put up all the labels.
7. Clean, having a duster is quick if using liquid solution isn't necessary. Don't go gung ho and try to clean every nook and cranny.
8. Put up any signing or have your signing tm do it.
9. Push the merch that you've took down.
10. Push batch like your momma just gave birth.

Your still fairly new to setting, so you shouldn't beat yourself up. I trained a few new plano tms and usually start off fairly slow, even after a few months. I find they struggle a lot at counting because there's so many pegs and figuring out how new fixtures/or fixtures they've never used before--are suppose to be set. If you have time, try to familiarize with all the different fixture. Once you've gained that experience and find what process work best for you, setting plano should be a lot quicker.

Please note, you might have to pull & backstock your products, too.

Thanks Tesla

How do you know if the pog is supposed to be set in standard or reverse? Is softlines different from hardlines?

Left is standard. Right is reverse. Back walls can be either depending on the adjacency. Everything else is standard.

I believe softlines is always standard.

Note: cosmetics is always standard, even in a reverse aisle.

Is no one at your store available to help?

1. Tie the POG using whatever program they have now.
2. Create the batch.
3. Walk away and go back to trying to catch up on truck push.

You have completed all the tasks necessary for the metrics to show the POG has been set.

If only this was fantastical.

I did that exactly today with a whole revision for produce aisle

To be fair, since produce, at least at my store, is unlocated in the backroom, the pfresh team would rather me just tie it and move on.

Small things often get missed-
Cleaning shelves
New label strip holders if the current ones are gross
Updating SFQ
Printing signs
Clean up after yourself, fixtures put away, trash taken care of and communication if there was/is an issue

Infant gondolas are the exception. They can be reverse.

We call that infant hardlines. So yes you are right. Only what is on carpet at my store is considered softlines.

That’s on softlines carpet at mine.

You don’t have cloud 9, bottles, pacifiers, car seats in Softlines? Those are on gondolas and can be set reverse.

I pretty much already knew the answer was just looking for reassurance and yes I probably couldve asked someone on pricing and presentation or my leader but I rather come here instead.
