That will smash anything else in the box? And then promptly fall through the bottom of the Repack when it's picked up?How is that going to work? Are we going to get sent boxes with 100 cans of soup in them?
That’s not caseless. That’s a pilot to sort things already sent in repacks. My DC was supposed to roll it out right before covid. It’s cool and the first step to get there but it can’t handle any item over 11 inches cubed. It’s a small package sorter with the same technology used to sort mail.It will be expanding to 4 more DCs once travel restrictions are lifted. Saw it in an article a couple of days ago. They'll be using robots to sort everything into breakpacks by store aisle. They just can't install them right now.
Maybe I’m missing something but it seems there’s a lot of wasted space on the highest shelves. Gotta pay for it why not use it.
It’s not that specific. They just rolled it out last week and for now you should stay generally within fill groups for pull efficiency but organize it by sales floor. Most areas stay within fill group with exceptions like bathroom organizer stuff that falls under plastics but is set in bath, which should get backstocked in bath with other bathroom plastics. It’s hit miss but I’ve done almost every fill group expect Toy 2 and Home. All areas ladderless and caseless. The guidelines are pretty broad though and specifically says they’re not rolling out detailed plans because every store is different and to make it up.We're now being told it's time to start phase two of the backroom reorganization. Apparently, we're doing away with fillgroups. We have two weeks to reorganize the entire backroom by salesfloor location. We mostly have our own ad hoc way of doing that now, but I guess there is some super specific way that we have to change it all.

Flex it out and set early! We already have our back to college bedding out a few weeks early and will be setting the new bedding pogs next week!We've kind of started that process in some aisles. Personal care was purged last week and then each section of that aisle was labels for an aisle- women's shave, toothpaste/mouthwash, men's deodorant, etc. As long as each section can be configured to fit the items it is supposed to hold, this will help with efficiency. But I am wondering how this will work when non-pretied transition comes in. I know the TL of the area is hoping we can just use the upper shelves for that, and only that, when necessary.

Yeah the fluctuation is tough with hours. Luckily that’s my big focus and I write the schedule so I always make sure to have 40-80 hours on pog even on the weeks we only have little to no work so they can set aheadWe are nowhere near being able to do that with many of our DBOs. We can sometimes be ahead on pog workload and are currently a week ahead, but we've never been able to maintain it because either the workload drops to nothing so there's nothing to get ahead on or it's so heavy we fall behind/on time instead.
Whew! This is already sort of how I have my backroom area set up. Almost always caseless and ladderless except for all the extra product at Christmas time.It’s not that specific.

Heard there's a replenishment process update coming for inbound to match with the caseless backroom.
Rapid or Ready something. Trucks will be push all with less back stock based on SFQ. Is anyone with caseless seen less inventory in their backrooms (pre-COVID)?

We've been focusing on purging to get our backroom units below a threshold. A lot of D-Code and clearance. Unlocating almost all our movies. It's wild times. Our backroom is starting to look like a ghost town (except for pets. 🤷🏻♂️ Overflowing with product).
How does that work when they send 10,000 cans of progresso soupWe're being given direction to not have any backstock now. None. I am fully on board for this in high demand areas like hand soap, wipes, and paper, but I am struggling with this is other areas. It starting to look like tacky and unkempt on the salesfloor.
Pushing to get ladderless and crouchless is just busy work if we're also not allowed to use the space in between.

No back stock at all is ridiculous. Good luck in BTS/Stationary! or Toys! or Pillows! or Cosmetics! or Groceries! or ....
: you get the point :
🙄
How about the DC not send me 60 of one DPCI that I sell maybe three of a week? -- not on an upcoming SP, either.
I'll take your Barbasol with the green cap if you'll take my Native charcoal deodorant. Guests at my store seem to like to buy the shave cream but aren't interested in the deodorant. But the DC keeps sending me a lot of both.Barbasol with the green cap! 🤦🏻♀️
