Apparently they forgot that if it takes 100 hours to stock a particular type of goods in one session and you chunk that up into 10 pieces, each piece will take 11 hours ~ because every time you need to stock that item you must PREPARE to stock it ~ and that includes having the employee who does that job on the scene, with the truck at the platform, and everybody with a power jack ~ whoops!!! NO POWER JACKS at Wal-Mart ~ so you need to have the BIG GUYS WITH THE MUSCLES on the scene with portable hand jacks all ready to go.
Then there's end of job clean-up.
Not surprising to see that the new system of reduced inventory on hand is leading to shortages. It always does.
I agree. I do remember watching the employees restock a while back. They had these hand held thingies which showed them what needed restocking when they held them up to the shelves. At that time; those shelves were restocked almost immediately.
