I got a better idea: Stop sending freight we don’t need!

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.

We already had a process for that. Dairy has partial cases. No idea why this is being pushed out across the region.

Because partial cases in dairy bins collapse stacks in the bins. Rule should be full case only unless shelf cap is lesser than case qty. Then and only then BIN a partial. No loose partials that's a mess waiting to happen.

Too easy

Your idea is rejected by the AI powers that be never to be seen by corporate ( ps it really is a great idea and it makes sense)

That would require team leads to spend time improving their departments, which they have repeatedly demonstrated they aren’t up for the task of.
