MEGATHREAD Signing Tips, Tricks and Quips (along with howls of despair)

[FlowTeamChick]

I have some questions about the guided workload.

1. How far deep do you update SFC/SFQ? If the revision is for 6 sections, but it's like 1 or 2 items changing. Do you update every item in that aisle??? It seems kind of stupid spending ~30 minutes doing SFC/SFQ on let's say the Hotwheel/action aisle if it's only a small change.

2. Do you do PPA for every transition/revision/spl??

3. Does the timer stop when you exit out the set? What if you started the set and have to finish it tomorrow?

I feel this guided pog is more complicated then it has to be and less efficient. I question whether Target can even afford to give extra hours for how much longer it's taking us to set this way.

1) I do only those that I suspect will be wrong or already know are wrong. Like when the batch it has me pull ends up with surplus or certain products I know from experience won't fit what it says.

I think even if only a few things change, SFQs for the whole POG can change, but I don't know that for sure. I've noticed it with other ones, but didn't actually check it out with ones I did today.

2) I do the PPA later, unless there's something specific I want to say about a particular POG. Those things are tedious and time-consuming.

3) Don't know about the timer, but I hope it stops when I exit.

As for what @jenna says about skipping through steps, I've wondered the same thing.

About @LuvMyPack's method of using 2 zebras at the same time - won't it know that you're logged into both and "doing" two POGs at the same time? I get why, but it seems like this might not work for long. But then what if two TMs are working on the same POG? Plenty of them are large enough that 2 or even 3 TMs could be working on it at the same time.

I have been setting with it for several weeks. I always grab 2 devices now. For books, I start one pog on my main device and click thru to “built” so that I can do sfc/sfq and audit in one. On the second device, I start a different pog and just let it run for however long corporate says it should take. When done setting the first pog, I jump into the one I was fake setting and finish it off. Meanwhile, my second device has started a new pog. For me, this is the easiest way I have found to do pogs and not have to pull/backstock things I don’t need , or count the same item multiple times for different steps

This makes no sense to me why you need two devices.
