What happens when your warehouse expert takes a day off?
If the building still runs, you're set up. If it stalls, you're on memory.
By SaleTrail
Friday’s orders hit the floor. Someone asks where the shade "always" lives.
The person who knows isn't there.
If the warehouse still works, you have setup. If everything turns into walking and asking, you have memory — and memory doesn't scale with live shows.
This week's assignment
- Walk the floor once with the checklist.
- Mark incoming vs outgoing so they aren't the same pile.
- Give one aisle readable location addresses (start simple: rack-row-shelf).
- Name who owns exceptions — and where those totes sit.
