I think someone on Reddit said that, in a backroom (non-SFS) Move batch, there's a cart icon they can use to end the original vehicle and start scanning items into a new vehicle. Seems like it'd be easy to implement in the SFS batches if that's true, but I don't know.
That's great, except currently Move pulls casepacks in the middle of the batch as you're moving between sections. So you'd want to put the casepack on a separate vehicle but then go back to the 3-tier for open stock.
I doubt they can integrate it with Manhattan like that, Manhattan seems to have all the item dimensions (you can see them when you look up a DPCI) and I don't think it really talks to Move. I think Move only works off eaches, but doesn't know how much they'll fill the cart. It'd sure be nice, though.
And 30 bags of chips is not the same as 30 pillows...
There's training on Workbench under Processes > Logistics. I just put like items together in ESIM bags, ziptie them, box it up (with the hazardous items facing upright), and make sure there's enough air bubbles that the contents don't shift around, then stick the HZ labels on. CSC told my store that chemicals and food can ship together as long as the chemicals were bagged, so we don't split any containers that don't HAVE to be split. There's a metric somewhere (might be invisible on the store level) of shipping cost overages that splitting the container affects (since it effectively doubles Spot's shipping cost for the order).
I just follow the packing guidelines on Workbench. All chem gets gripper tape in the appropriate place, put in an ESIM bag (not a prep bag) and zip tied shut.
See we were originally doing that, but sometime late last year we started getting half the orders back and a lot of guest complaints. So we started splitting chemicals to prevent them from bursting on everything else, bubble wrapping cans so they don’t arrive dented, throwing items that are prone to easily smashing into boxes to put inside the box. I’m sure we’re burning through SFS supplies faster than other stores, but it’s reduced guest complaints and etc.
Are these packing guidelines the same like the one on the SFS poster for chemicals/hazardeous items? I’ll have to look at workbench when I go in next then.
That's the only other thing I was going to suggest. As long as everything is packaged correctly and you fill the box completely with air pillows (to right before the point where it won't close), you're doing everything right.
The damage report is still active? I haven’t seen in the store reports for some time. Everytime a new report came out, I would make sure we’re going lower. If not, I’ll hover over TM to make sure their following best practice for packing.
If there’s chemicals, either split the container or bag the chemicals in an ESIM bag. Make sure to cover any openings with gripper tape.I further it by bagging the food if I have time. For the cans, put it in the center of the box and surround it with air pillows. When you close the box, make sure the cover flaps don’t go inside the box. If it does, then you need to put more air pillows.
If they let the store TM’s know about that, we would try and reduce splitting containers if it means better hours for us. If we get a casepack plus some individual items in the same container, we’ll split the container to ship the casepack alone and ship the individuals in a box it fits.
All I know is that if we split too much our STL somehow knows and we hear about it. I didn't know the "real" damage report didn't work, maybe they thing they give us is something someone at the district level is putting together based on the surveys.
It's still there in store reports, but it hasn't been updated since January and there's a message saying they're working on fixing it. Guest surveys seem to come through my ETL's email or something like that. Or maybe they go through the normal in-store survey system. I just know my ETL is supposed to personally reach out to the guest within x amount of time, and half the time it's a problem that has nothing to do with our store. I'm guessing guests get a survey link in an email.
Never heard of that and I split stuff unnecessarily all the time *cough*diapers.
Does your store not sell massive amounts of paper? We use so many 278s a day on it.I was thrown in the SFS when the last TM just quit ...They took your whole last pallet?!
