Just curious
It seemed like 96 and 8 dropped off the report then 96 got added back to report for reason I don’t know
But management told me the other day that OOS went to being done quarterly
If that’s true.. the tool department wd never get anything in.. as it is there are a lot of items that don’t come in even after a month of doing them weekly..
Just really curious about this
I really like doing out if stocks in tools
it is frustrating when week after week there is still no stock and yet another “see associate” sticker goes on.
What I started doing after 4 weeks is put the oldest out of stock sticker on yellow S1 signwriter paper, do current OOS and put new sticker on, date the 4-5 pages of old OOS stickers and give it to upper management. What magic they do that my weekly transmits doesn’t do, I don’t know .
I noticed that items ARE finally coming in that have been at zero count for months
...I hope they sell
Our tool Dept is pretty healthy looking and it seems like we get 4-6 flatbeds of div 9 & 71 every week
Why bother with out of stocks, most of the out of stocks have a out of stock tags thick as a book from doing it week after week, and still no product! It's just busywork. Most of those tags are the result of vendor issues and not genuinely being "just" out of stock.
The district manager gets twitterpated if we take the initiative to take down all of the empty pegs or fill empty spots on shelves (quite embarrassing, quite frankly) and spread out product to make it look stocked. Nope, leave the planogram how it is. We don't know if the OOS will ever come in but we have to maintain planogram integrity!
I've never seen a store where spots sit empty week after week and the only thing taking its place are a ton of "See associate for assistance" tags, so we can tell them nope, don't have it and don't know when it will come in. It's just sloppy.
Pay the damned vendors and get some stock in!
I'm glad the guys at my store are still doing it more often than quarterly! Some things do still get restocked.
1oho- Quarterly for div 9 too?
Talk about a lack of communication
I have been doing Out if stock scans this whole year when I really did t have too? Just wow
They started doing quarterly oos last year in February I believe.
Yes OOS means out of stock.
Does OOS mean out of stock? Is that the same as what we call data integrity at Kmart?
I do it every week because my damn manager says to do it. I don't think we should even do OOS anymore nothing ever really comes I think its a good waste of 2 hours in my store.
No merchandise in the DC to send anyway. Everything is OOS or backordered. Vendors pulling product and buyers having a hard time finding new vendors.
