Archived SFQ's

[Bloody red]

Sales floor quantity, this whole scan, update capacity, how many are here, and research bullshit is absolutely ridiculous. Especially with heavy workload weeks, you just can't do that crap.

I am not a fan of it either.

I think it might work if everyone did their job right. SF changes stick (i would change it but then it goes back to the original quantity the next day), no one overstock, and everything would be pushed to the right place. I have problems finding items pushed to another spot bec the original ones are already filled. I still send whole boxes of product back bec the spot is already full or a lot to backstock of flexed items in Market.

So there was a week and a half where myself and two others did this for the whole store. But turns out it doesn't mean anything when salesfloor and flow overstocks anyways. Also some of the sfq's we've done have changed back. It's a giant waste of time, that would've been super helpful if the whole store did its job right

Any quantities you have changed change again when it resets. Then overnight overstocks or just mis-pushed stuff and kills the entire process.

But what do I know, imhave spent the last week in the backroom backstocking since overnight can't get it done. Single or doubles they can't finish the push the backroom looks like a traffic jam all the time.

Isn't it great when you get done backstocking, only to have it come right back out on the next caf?

It's not a hard job. It's easy to do when researching, but ideally should be done when planograms are newly set. That being said, it's a tremendous waste of time and payroll - at least at my store. The flow and salesfloor tms apparently cannot understand the concept of capacity - even in aisles/areas where they are specifically pointed out and huddles are held to show them(paper, softlines tables, etc.) The floor scanners don't show capacity, the pick labels do not show capacity, and most flow tms do not have equipment for scanning. Salesfloor tms claim that they don't need to check because "they know". Shut up. It's a wonderful idea and I was very excited that we could finally do this, but until it is actually meaningful and there is integrity and support for maintaining it, it's a waste of time.

My pptl and I were just discussing alotting for this in big sets. Seasonal, toys, etc. Mostly cause I'm instocks trained and the rest if the team is not...
