modernization

With modernization dying a slow painful death anyone know what new kool-aid will be replacing it?

How would you do it? I thought this would be a fun thread to take part in with a lot of the recent changes happening at the store level. I think a thread like this was started ten years ago, but if you could alter anything about how target operates its business, specifically at the store level...

It was announced by our DSD today. Not following the modernization rules any more ! 2021 focuses are : sales,loyalty, accuracy, zone, team.

I have yet to figure out why all merchandise isn't pushed to the floor as soon as it comes in. I have asked management and they act like they have no idea what is arriving! IMHO if the truck is completely unloaded by 8:00 AM everything should be on the floor by 4:00 PM. I am still putting...

Hi guys, Trying to help my GM team out. They are pretty dysfunctional at this point. They are taking lots of triples and not catching up. Are there any stores at this level that are actually modernized and executing? Seems like the stores in my District are faking it and still not doing great...

Hey y’all! I’m a DBO and when I start my day I’m to “guest ready”/zone and do 1-4-1’s. Now I’m also supposed to to audit the department as well as scan out outs before dropping 1-4-1’s. Does anyone have any tips on how to work this all in in a more efficient way?

I’m the infant hardlines DBO. This week I’m scheduled in inbound. I’m worried I won’t finish all my stuff. I’m worried i’ll disappoint my TLs. What to do?

Rotating DBO'S is a great idea because they know and can do everything that Target requires of them since Target is driven by sales these DBO'S would move constantly to improve the area and drive sales. By eliminating the team leaders these Pros could get the job done. There are great Team -...

Apparently my department has the "highest backroom error rates in the district". Of course I was shown no data to corroborate this. Before when pulling the "One for Ones (Manuals)" if you couldn't find a particular item in that location we used to hit "all items scanned". Obviously later on...

I used to really enjoy working in Style however things have gone completely down hill. All of the TLs are new with the exception of one. As much as they like to say the expectations are the same for everyone that’s not the case. With me being one of the younger TMs (18), I’m expected to get a...

So I'm confused. Every morning, someone takes a sheet of labels and creates manual 1 for 1's for each fill group. I just don't understand how this is eff9cient. If this is the company directive, why not just have them auto create everyday. I've had etls talk about efficiency and wasting...

Anyone happen to get a peek at this yet? I think it arrived today or yesterday. I've only heard of small org chart changes so far from it.

I usually have been getting 5 hr shifts, although next week I have a 7 hr shift week. In those 5 hours, I can usually do a quick touch up zone (not perfect, only if the closer the night before did well), maybe a 2 tier or 2 of reshop, ~65 task 1for1s, and maybe 3 or 4 uboats of toy push. Is...

Please! Does anyone have these problems? Ok, my store completely got rid of the presentation team, but kept me (my preference too because its what I like doing), but just me. I do basically ALL actual POGs (revisions are supposed to be done by the now GM experts in those areas...in which i...

Okay guys please any advice at all is welcome. WHO the heck owns baby hardlines per company and modernization standard? There is some major confusion in our store. We saw in the modernization roll out that it is GMs but the leaders are pushing back HARD and want style to push it. We dont get ANY...

hi all, former seasonal employee recently promoted to DBO for two areas. I’m wondering if this is common? I am scheduled 6 hours a day and expected to keep up with two high volume areas on my own. 1 for 1s, pushing truck, price changes, keeping end caps stocked, revisions, transitions, back...

The hours for our Service & Engagement team members have been cut to the point we are out-numbered by the number of Team Leads and SETL on the clock Monday-Friday. We still need to call for backup from the other departments. Why? Because our leaders spend their time in their little office...

Current title is Dedicated Business Owner (DBO) as such in a very short amount of time since accepting that title have made major improvements to my area and we are in the black. However that was possible with 35-40 hours a week. Since my hours have been drastically cut to under 20 a week...

I overheard a few ETL's talking about modernization phase 3. Here is a few things I overheard 1) ETL's not closing anymore 2) All TL being key carrier and trained on closing store. 3) Trucks being smaller and mostly repacks 4) Less payroll on salesfloor and intrgrating the rest of Planogram...

From what I’ve gathered by the posts, it sounds like modernization has done away with crew who maintain the stockroom. So if we are to keep our stockroom in order ourselves, what are the best practices for backstocking, keeping things organized, etc... I’d like to make a list or reference manual...
