When does everyone 'Tie' POGs?
Before, during, or after setting?
Are TMs able to 'Tie' POGs themselves?
I am a new PTL in Canada. I am the only one who has access to the POG program on the computer, where I must find the POG and click the 'implement' button (to tie the POG). We are not able to use the gun to Tie POGs. In Canada, we have to wait 4 hours for it to show up in the guns after we 'tie' the POG on the computer.
With a brand new team, I can only very loosely guestimate what POGs will be completed every day. My instinct is to tie the POGs I THINK might be set that day, but without the experience to know which POGs are going to set us back (some 'REVISIONS' are taking over 2.5hrs to do), I would be tying many more POGs then we actually would be able to set. How much chaos does this cause with the flow of things? Waiting until after the POGs have been set, is generally what I do, but this is also slowing the process of being able to shift product on the POG as the new locations aren't coming up in the gun unless I tie them the day before, so we are having to search for article numbers on newly set labels in order to find an items location.
My new temporary STL (who's here from the United States) tells me I should tie the POGs as we set them. If I did it that way, I'd literally spend the entire day, just running to the computer, trying to find the POG, and clicking that little button! As stupid as it sounds, we also don't have a POG number SEARCH in our POG program. I just have to keep on re-loading each of the 300 pages of POGs until I find the number I'm looking for (thank goodness they are in numerical order).
I'm just trying to find good flow to make things as efficient as possible when setting.
Any advice for a newby would be helpful. Thanks!
