A lot of pics and discussion going on about a new way of loading the trucks.
I am particularly interested in the Indy DC.

Probably smallest regionCurrently 1 DC and 3-4 stores, gonna be a while before that’s the standard.
Never. They're designed for narrow aisles and only allow one picker per aisle at a time. Accuracy may go up but pulling will slow to a crawl.Ace DC does it. I’d say it’s more efficient for XS and S that’s all. When are we getting the laser guided WH system? Not the self picking isles one but the one that will drive you to the exact location while raising and lowering your cherry picker. Even if it’s refurbished, come on Target
Picking will slow to a crawl once dc’s transition to batched OLE WMS pick for mbp and whse.Never. They're designed for narrow aisles and only allow one picker per aisle at a time. Accuracy may go up but pulling will slow to a crawl.
This is why each DC seems to need 8,500 employees now…Picking will slow to a crawl once dc’s transition to batched OLE WMS pick for mbp and whse.
Basically. And packing used to have like 40ish people and now ar has like 120+.This is why each DC seems to need 8,500 employees now…
From 1 dc to 3 stores currently. It will be a while before it gets a whole network rollout.So they are loading the pods with cartons and having them loaded up just like that in the picture?
Ours has more scheduled on every shift than they have parking spaces available. If you are not at least an hour early, you’re SOL and will probably be late clocking in. But never fear, you will get a space when they VLE half the team at start up, because they really don’t need 75 in MBP, and around 100 in WH. There isn’t even that much equipment in the whole building.This is why each DC seems to need 8,500 employees now…
Small format stores have always been palletized because they don’t have dock doors. The driver has to unload it on the street.Does the express stores get the palletized trucks?
Yeah we need 3 order pickers in every aisle. At least 3. Just to barely not make prod.Never. They're designed for narrow aisles and only allow one picker per aisle at a time. Accuracy may go up but pulling will slow to a crawl.
It helps contain the mess when the prod breaks open. 🤪Does the pods help the store unload a truck faster?
The inbound TL at my store thinks (or at least hopes) so. Should mean much less time sorting. Just roll it out to the floor and start pushing.Does the pods help the store unload a truck faster?
The pods are (in theory) presorted by aisle. So no sorting on the line necessary anymore. Store guys just pull the pods off, and start working them.Does the pods help the store unload a truck faster?
