Things Don't Add Up

Lately, we have been concerned about the hours spent in store and each dept. But, the hours spent before team converage and now just don't add up.

Before coverage they assigned hours based on store revenue. For example the Hardware Deptpartment in store would get about 24 hours. Now, this same store would get depending on team size that same store would the same 24 hours, but for three hours and eight people one day a week. The same store prior got one person and three day coverage. Three hours will not maintain a store for a week. Now, a store that got 40 hours per week only gets 24 while every other week it gets an extra 24 hours. Now 40 hour a week stores have a high revenue base and need a full week of coverage to maintain their shelves once a week will not due.

In the long run for the 40 week store they have lost coverage. For one month this store used to get 160 hours now it gets 144 hours that would be a lost of sixteen hours.

Prior to the team coverage that 40 hours could be cosidered a full time employee which now has been cut to a part time employee.

Also. lost has been the maintance. One day out the week will not maintain the shelves or the Planogram Integerity. This has to be done on a more frequent basis. This new concept in any form will not work.
