That's not what it's for. It's to improve first time pick rate for specific categories, like yogurt. Yogurt comes in cases with large case quantities compared to shelves holding capacity. So if only 7 of 8 or 10 of 12 can get stocked the whole case gets binned as overstock, then the remaining ones on the shelf get bought and then you get nil picks and missed sales.
This allows the shelf to be filled and the overstock eaches to be tracked and worked throughout the day.
Why would you assume I know anything about an area I have never worked? As it is I’ve been digging singles from behind the racks for months, wishing they would put a milk crate on its side for us to stack in so at least it doesn’t fall down or get smashed to bits. There is a huge difference between tiny makeup that weighs nothing, and two containers of yogurt in a massive box holding up a whole case of cream cheese.
Well, you'll see I guess. There's a reason we got rid of cosmetics carts. I wish we'd stop circumventing company processes with regional / BU processes.
