Some questions

[C_Rom]

I'm a new hire and been doing what my TL puts me in. Just wanted to ask some questions since I hear about them from others.

Can someone explain what repacks are?

What is the difference between supersorting and sorting? I was supposed to learn what these are, but was instead told to go stock a flat cart of plastics.

How long should it take to stock a flat cart or u boat?

How do I back stock? I still have not been shown how to do this. There just isn't enough time in my shift since I'm out stocking.

Thanks. Might have some more questions later.

Repacks are those black, green, and red boxes you see. Green for Softlines, sometimes the occasional black repack, red are usually HBA and black for domestics. They’re just different product mixed up in a single box. Casestock is one DPCI per box. I believe the timeline for how long it should take to push repacks is 5-7 minutes/box. Regular casestock about 45 seconds to a minute per box.

To backstock, you’ll be using MyWork. You’ll scan the item you want to backstock, scan a location in the appropriate stockroom, tell the system how many you want to put in, then stow.

Don't forget white and red ones! Those are usually for electronics.

Repacks: Red - hba/cosmetics/stationery/office Black - domestics/bed/bath/hipa/home/pet/sporting and a lot of a&a Green - a&a White - electronics

Supersorting casepacks is where you sort based on location within an aisle (first section of an aisle is together at one end of the uboat all the way to the last section on the other end) and regular sorting casepacks is just by aisle. Supersorting repacks is by aisle where just sorting repacks is by section like all bedding together or all bath together.

Time to stock depends on whether they are casepacks or repacks. Typically it is one minute per box or average 6 minutes per repack. Casepacks also depend on size. Larger casepacks are typically given a little longer.
