It didn't seem so bad actually. Only 3 people came in for flow overnight, so there were 54 autofills waiting and those did drop in to the 1 and 3 CAFS, but the 1:00pm's were 2 hours and a couple minutes. Three BR TMs (one split off to do some flexes) had that done by 2:30. The 3:00s were a little over 4 hours, but a lot of the autofill batches dropped in. I ended up jumping in to help pull, along with my ETL AP and we had it done in 40 minutes.

Since it was the first day, I don't think it surprising it wasn't that bad. However, I feel that as the week goes on it will only grow worse. How did the stores in the pilot find it? Did it stay manageable or did it snowball into something worse?

2573 truck...721 PFresh truck...6 flow call outs...1 backroom call out...came clean by 12:40 and 1's were 1:28 with 3 pullers scheduled...went a little too smooth but I'll take smooth anytime
 
We have people scheduled to push cafs but we're having to push and the floor is zoning. We have about 16 vehicles of bs that's not being worked on atm.
 
A texted a coworker after 12 asking if it was busy today. He said yes but the CAFs weren't dropping and the LOD was going to submit a mysupport.

If they haven't figured it out by tomorrow, I'll go find the info on workbench and print it off.
 
Since the backroom is pushing the cafs we had almost zero backstock. Here are the fives.

Yeah, I don't think that our store will participate in the whole "Backroom pulls and pushes pulls". We're high enough volume that it's difficult to do that, especially with how large our backroom is.

Lololol
 
I'm so confused. I thought they were going to be horrific, but I was done with the pulls LONG before I was when we did them every hour. ...how is this supposed to work? What's the catch?

The only downside will be that I have enough time to push everything now, meaning my time on the salesfloor will increase exponentially. Guest interaction isn't really my thing. My anxiety is bad enough just staying in the back, but being on the salesfloor with NON-STOP questions and calls for backup=way more stress.

Either the morning autofills will be massive...or the pull triggers have been adjusted so stuff won't pull until more of it has sold (meaning it might take a few days for some items to sell enough).

No matter what it is just shifting the workload around to different times. It is still the same amount of work in the end.
 
Ill definitely see how our pulls are tonight. It'll either be a clusterfuck or smoothe, looks good so far from what I've seen on here. Will send an update in the a.m.!

There should be a small reduction in workload when it comes to product moving from the backroom to the salesfloor. Because the shelves are purposely left lighter, the truck should fill your floor a bit more directly. Anytime something went to truck backstock is a sigh of inefficiency, since we will have to touch the item again to pull and stock at a later date. The less we touch it on that side of things the better.

Its also a reduction in trips. While the amount of product going from your backroom to your salesfloor is reducing, you are also making far less trips to the same items. Instead of visiting pet food every hour from 11-6, you are only visiting it a few times per day to fill critical outs and do the one pull that generated.
 
Our 1's were like 50 minutes long, and the 3's were 2 hours 45, but the team finished them within the hour. Left before the 5's.

I figured they would be like this since our autos were smaller then yesterday

Our autos were actually bigger than normal today, which meant the CAFs were a bit lighter.
My STL is over the moon, because our backroom hours didn't take as big of a hit as anticipated, and with such small, infrequent CAFs, we actually have time to go and shoot EXFs and drop manuals for endcaps and such before and in between CAFs to fill the outs on the floor. For once, the ratio of vehicles with yellow or green clips to TMs available to push them is within reason. The floor so far has less holes (overall it's a bit lighter) but I'd rather have no holes in an aisle and all the locations 75% full than half of the locations 100% full and the rest empty. Hopefully it stays this way.
 
So, our morning autofills were nuts. 6 carts of H&B (Usually half), two overflowing tubs of CHEM (Usually half), Pfresh was overall triple what it usually is...DARY was clocked at 686 Eaches, 120 DPCIs, can't remember the time specifically. Usually DARY/DELI is a third of what it was.

Sorry dayside!!!
