I don't understand how your ETL-LOG gets away with that! When I was an ETL-LOG the food truck was pushed and backstocked EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Even if it meant the ETL and STL team had to push it ourselves. Which we did a few times when it was late and we couldn't afford the payroll to keep the...

PTM Smart Huddles are the only way to make it happen. Leaving it up to team members/TLs on an individual basis has never worked in my experience. When I was an ETL LOG I had a schedule. The backroom closer would pull dcode for different departments (2 nights ahead of when that department was on...

One thing I did to help this issue was move the sign and label PC up front to the TL office along with all the end cap signing and price change supplies. This enabled me to lock the fixture room. It also helped me keep it more organized, as a lot of the project carts come from those setting end...

To get caught up, I would suggest your morning team Smart Huddle all of the reshop. This includes all leaders, SFT etc. It may take an hour to get it worked, but it will be work it in the long run. To maintain it, it is crucial the team completes reshop as they zone. Rolling it up at night as...

What this generally means at most stores is that once the HR keys the initial scores the...

Haha nope, I just couldn't stick around to watch Target murder their processes, something we used to be known for. I also feel 6/7:30 AM logistics is the biggest mistake they ever made. Target guests DO NOT want to deal with stuff in the way. They'd rather have less people in red and khaki in...

As a former ETL-LOG, I can tell you that the headcount you need is directly dependent on the time of your process, due to the amount of product you can or can't bowl. I ran a 4 AM process with 23 team members and could get even the largest 2600 piece trucks done by 8 AM. When I moved to 6 AM, I...

Most likely, someone has flexed the product out somewhere on the floor and a guest bought one. I used to have my flow team do that all the time, especially if the aisle was breaking badly.
