At least in my building, the only people being promoted to OM from lower positions are the ICQAs, Control Center techs, and the current roster of LWWs. And the LWWs are by far the largest slice of that pie.

Target put out an announcement about how their starting pay rates will move to an incredibly local market approach. https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2022/02/target-to-set-new-starting-wage-range-and-expand-a If you are based near a major city, and have some new competition moving...

Like others have said, it's mostly softlines and seasonal products. Also loads of baby related items, since it's hard to predict sales for baby stuff. It's always fun to see what comes through our scrap orders that we fulfill due to shortages in RDCs on backordered toys and such. I still...

Apparently it's a store in Houston? Means nothing as far as I'm concerned, haha. The beauty of being not directly attached to the stores.

Hahaha, the small impact a random post can have.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I feel vindicated after have been given the runaround for so long!

A quality department??? No. Both packing solutions have a rework TM that helps us identify metrics on where we can improve. WHS IMs help us check on whether locations are correct. IB has a Problem Solver for when we get freight that isn't meant to come into the building. Each main...

Oh my God, yes. Like nothing I've seen before. The way things are coming in from the drop is almost redefining how the building functions with all the full case conveyable going out, coupled with UDCs getting rid of our online order area. I don't think our warehousing department has had a...

Kind of a follow up to my last post and seeing how the UDC level is impacting everybody else. Please hit me with any questions you have! I'd love to help give you guys some insight!

So, I've had a couple things pop up recently that allow me to answer this question. So, because UDCs hold freight that is more difficult to predict, we often use sales from each store to predict how much of each item will be shipped to each store. This info comes from headquarters and is...

I will talk to my IBOB OMs and see how we can best solve this issue. Perhaps we can get this info out to the other UDCs and work on a plan together

MCIM? And I will send this up the my superiors. May I ask how it impacts you on your side?

UDC is short for Upstream Distribution Center. We deal with product that is more difficult to predict purchases for. My UDC deals with softlines products and will change between seasons. Our OBPs are sent to a selection of RDCs that will then be sent from their inbound department to outbound...

Not a problem. OPB- OverPack Boxes PTS- Pack To Store USS- Universal Sorting System OOR- Online Order Replacement/Replenishment SSZ- Store Stock Zone IB- Inbound OB- Outbound If you need any others, feel free to ask

So the purple OPBs were introduced as a way for us to speed up our process. The green OPBs had less of a lifetime use due to their size, and we were constantly discarding overused boxes that came back from the stores. Given the smaller dimensions of the purple OPBs, they should hold up longer...

So if we have a box where the label has come off( or in cases of large orders and due to human error a new box was not added), our conveyor system will not send them to outbound. It circles around in our USS department, and will either be assigned to a random store or sent to an online...

It would be a logistical nightmare to try and make that happen. Each OPB has a barcode on it that the system tracks to get to each store, so on the store side they can scan it and see exactly what they are supposed to have. If we were to combine boxes, our output from the building would slow...

I can! So it all depends on what SSZ we are working, and what each store orders. Some stores only need a few items from us, and depending on the stock zone, it leaves a lot of room left over. We can't switch to a smaller box for small orders because we don't have access to which orders will...

I am in the pack to store (PTS) department, and am trained in our universal sorting system (USS)department as well as online ordering replacement (OOR)

Just looking to see what some of the questions people from the stores or the RDCs have.
