MEGATHREAD End to End team PILOT

Are e2e hours more stable? Is the scheduling more consistent? With only a few people (or one person) planned for an area and no support doesn't that mean longer days? Job appears to be morphing to a nearly full time position.
 
As of this week, in my store, per Etl ge, who is running e2e, when we detrash nothing is back stocked. All softline table is put in carts. All transition comes to floor.


well, that should go over well. What happens when the tables and fixtures are over flowing?

and are a big heaping, unfolded mess that no one wants to shop?

-
there has to be a happy medium between No backstock, and backstocking everything (even sizes not out on the floor)

I would like to know this as well. Anyone?

Seems to be, but it is early days yet.

It really depends. At my store flow is no longer eating up all the payroll. Our softlines and market team leads are really good at checking on their progress and getting people out on time which means more payroll since we don't have to bank as many hours for overages.

The tricky thing is there isn't more hours for the store. Just an opportunity for leaders to make sure the efficient workers get the hours they deserve

In my store on the SL side, it is. I have been working 35-40 hours per week and my schedule is pretty set. I may have an odd close here and there, but it's mostly mid shifts.
 
We have the whole store E2E going. Super easy for SL they don't have 1/4 of the tasks HL does. They have one person zone up an area than stand around. Oh they are supposed to be selling so they can't help HL. Nobody can do everything in one day. So if your still pushing truck you can't research your lows & outs because it could be in your push. And when can you backstock? So it gets set aside in backroom not located.
 
In a store that has softlines E2E but still has at least some of a backroom team, who backstocks the softlines full case backstock?

Most of ours is sent out to the floor with softlines push, and then later brought to the backroom after the breakout. Backroom doesn't backstock it because it comes back so late and they don't really have time, but softlines doesn't backstock it because it's not sorted by department and they view it as not their problem.
 
We have market on full e2e and now beauty and SL are starting. The backroom is a complete mess in those areas as they have not been trained how to properly STO and pull. I routinely see them come back and just grab items or plunk them into a Waco with no scanning or entering data of any sorts. In the beginning I would attempt to assist but after all the snarky comments I just look away. My areas are in the green. Theirs are Red. Ugh.
 
Our E2E has been working pretty well actually, but I think our store manages it way differently. Our store is higher volume so we seem to be getting more hours/people than the other stores that I'm reading on this site. Most importantly I think is that we still have overnight so some TMs from overnight are pushing market to help the team. We also have several closers that help finish whatever push didn't get done.

However, I don't think this will work company wide in the long run due to the amount of work expected vs pay, and treatment of workers. Our store just appears to be an exception to the rule.

As of this week all softlines comes to floor. When I detrash case packs are opened ( per Etl ge) and put in carts. Our softline e2e team is responsible for back stocking their own area. Most are doing it. The girl who pushes in infants, after seeing what came off the truck and then looking at the tables, most were on the tables. I'm talking 8 to 10 per size. However in womans, per Etl, only 4 of each size. I don't agree, but I am now hardlines, de trashing only. I gladly left softlines. When e2e started in softlines, fucking common sense went out the window!
 
No they just LOCU the entire backroom and restow it the day before inventory. I just helped a sister store do just that.. 8hrs of that. It was a mess..

I don't get this. Items being in location has little to do with inventory. If anything, a few things may flag to go to the floor, but without floor counts being updated it's useless. That's a huge waste of time better spent zoning, rubber banding, and checking details like bcodes.

rubber banding is a complete and utter waste of time. having rando team member come into the BackRoom and be told to do the mindless and useless task of rubber banding leads to finding 5 different DPCI's banded together all being backstocked under who knows what number. so yeah keep on with that rubber banding.

Yeah overnight stores are not true end to end. My old store was overnight and we had market and softlines end to end. Since essentials was still getting pushed at 11pm it was easier to finish softlines and market
 
softlines: casestock for the truck, which is pretty much assortments/anything transition. The rest belongs to them. i.e. 5 different size shirts of probably the same color haphazardly sto'd in a waco.
So softlines backstocks it?
