Are you doing work 50% ahead? We are doing fill for depth, and it won't replenish until 3 eaches will fit. IMO, there is no point to do 50% ahead because you're pulling the same DPCI too frequently, negatively impacting productivity.
So what's everyone's backroom schedule looking like nowadays? I'm the TL , and on a truck day, it's me 6-230 and a TM 12-4. That means I'm responsible to pull all autofills, pull all research batches, do flexible fufillments, backstock all backline, and stay on top of truck backstock all by myself. I also only have direct communication with my TMs for about 2 hours. I'm working with 85 hours for a 4 truck week. You take my 40 out, and the closing shifts out (7 days, 4 hours per day) that leaves me with about 17 hours to spread around. And our HR had the balls to ask why the BR had gaps in coverage.
I would kill for that. my truck days areGrids for truck days is something like:
530a-2p TM
6a-230p TL
6a-11a TM
6a-11a TM
8a-430p TM
B volume, 4 trucks a week.

My BRTL would disagree, since he's basically a one-man backroom team and the department has been completely gutted with no say from him.Your livin the dream life. First time I've heard of a Backroom TL these days that they actually allow to work in the backroom
Well fuck lmaoDoh, looks like the way manuals are dropped changed. Now the system fills to capacity no matter if the floor needs 1 each or 10 eaches. Bummer.

That alone seems to be a need to have a BRTM there. Out ETL-LOG told us that that affect his bonus so he fought to have a closer.Lol our backroom is pretty much gone by noon. We have a closing TLOD every day who is responsible for pulling CAFs and checking SPUs after SFS leaves. Salesfloor TMs backstock their own stuff and the TLOD sets the line at the end of the night.
I actually kind of like it so far, except for the part where they tank our SPU fulfillment and picked on time scores.
