Also I am not sure how Best Buy and Walmart do their planograms, revisions, but I can't imagine they waste as much as time as Target does.
Target corporate seems to have no intelligence at all, when come up with these revisions that take away so much time that it makes NO sense at all!
I work at Walmart and I can tell you how the modulars are done. First of all, there is no such thing as a revision at Walmart. Even if it is only a couple of new items, the whole modular (planogram) must get reset. This isn't too bad if it's one or two four-foot sections but the shampoo modular at the store where I work is 13 four-foot sections!
Plus, sometimes the new stuff gets added into the old set before the new set is done. The new stuff is supposed to be added in where the discontinued merchandise was but that doesn't always happen that way. It's a mess for those of us who have to stock the shelves before the new set is done and it's a mess for the people doing the new set.
Walmart also doesn't use label strips so it's easier to move the tags to accommodate the merchandise if there's not enough room for it or too much room given for it.
I've had to move dividers in order to get the product stocked right. Either there was too much space or not enough space for it. Most of the time, I move just enough for the product I'm stocking. Until the deodorant aisle was redone recently, there weren't enough dividers for all of the product so it looked awful.
Walmart doesn't seem to be too big on backer paper.
I'm not sure about the state of my store's modular team now anyhow. It used to be six people but now they're down to three people and they're not replacing the rest. Maybe they'll go back to having the department managers reset the modulars like they apparently used to do.
There is no separate signing person either. Usually the managers go around the store hanging the signs when needed.
