MEGATHREAD End to End team PILOT

Also, did you not know Our current CEO used to be the Sam's Club Ceo.

And also worked for Pepsi; he's a job-hopper.

It's not uncommon for CEOs to job hop. They show up, implement a ton of cost cutting measures that will likely hurt the company in the long run, make a ton of money from their stock options, and move on to the next company before it collapses.

 

[Diva0Darkness]

I'm still confused about all of this, can someone tell me how this will effect my dept (Beauty)?

Anyone hear about Phase 2 of end to end coming in June

 

[Noiinteam]

Oh fuckity fuck no! We haven't figured out Phase 1!

Sure hope phase 2 means the DC is sending only eaches. And palletized trucks.

Sweet! just in time for BTC/BTS -2.0

Everything is repacks where you are e2e or not. !

I've been hearing about this and I hope it's not true. This would effectively turn working a truck into working a trailer full of CAF pulls (or even worse, reshop). I don't see how this would be remotely efficient.

If you ever had to deal with a crap ton of styrofoam. in domestics, you would understand.

And having the DC deal with this while greatly increasing the chance of damage during shipment to the store saves the company money how?

I never said it did.

Target doesn't like (logic)istics

 

[pfreshdude]

I am not sure if this is sarcastic or not, but, having the decent possibility of being trapped in a -20-35 environment, is more than likely against the law.

Hey its only -15 degress ok My Freezer just pushes open to go back outside of it, other stores are different?

 

[Frontlanegirl]

Arthur Valdez wants to 'turn Target from an elephant into a a gazelle.'

Elephant lifespan = 60 - 70 years

Gazelle lifespan = 12 years

Live fast. Die young.

Any questions?

Is this fact based on living in the wild or captivity? LOL

Elephants live longer in the wild. Up to twice as long. Gazelles are the opposite. They only live up to 8 years in the wild and 12 to 15 in captivity. His analogy wasn't the best because elephants have no natural enemies while gazelles are prey for every predator around.

I think the analogy they were looking for was more of a "Super Virus". One that can adapt to whatever humanity throws at it, but can repack itself enough, to always just look like a box. Whether boxes in 2040, look different from boxes in 2018.... remains to be seen.

Its not if you aren't E2E but if you are then its no different. You have a person who does them anyway? So there you go.

We are E2E.

There's a huge difference in the amount of time per piece to work cases of freight vs eaches in a repack. Just because it's (supposedly) going to be sorted by department won't change the fact that you will likely end up having to walk 3 times as far just to finish a single box.

I'd much rather work cases from a presorted pallet.... than work eaches from a plastic tub [from the truck.]

aka. I'd rather corp work on better loading the trucks so that departments are already sorted onto pallets.... instead of loaded all hodge podge into the trailer and sorted on the line.

Half of the bed/bath repacks being filled with softlines slows us down

How many departments are there?

 

[Spot the doge]

My store is finally rolling out to this. I'm scared.

you should be

 

[ManMythMachine]

Maybe the system could be updated to print the aisle and bin on the conveyable label according to the store? If the store remodels then the system would have to be updated. The trucks would still be mixed but loads could be unloaded and sorted by aisles.

 

[jenna]

How many departments are there?

That's a good question.

I'd settle for items being sorted onto pallets by a general area - HBA, Pets, Chemicals, Paper, Grocery, Small Appliances, Home Decor, Home Storage, Toys, Sporting Goods, etc.

As far as legit Depts (as in from the DPCI) I don't know how many Departments there are in a store.
