After identifying aisles with a high number of dwelling packages, what is the next step?

Conducting an STU (Site Training and Utilization) with the AA (Area Associate) responsible for the aisles is a critical next step after identifying aisles with a high number of dwelling packages. This action allows for a focused examination of the operational processes in those specific aisles, facilitating conversations about potential inefficiencies and challenges that may be causing the packages to linger. By engaging directly with the Area Associate, management can gain insights into the root causes of the issue and collaboratively develop solutions to improve workflow, streamline processes, and ultimately reduce the number of dwelling packages.

This step is vital for ensuring that team members have the appropriate training and practices in place, as well as for fostering accountability and ownership of the process. It creates an opportunity for ongoing improvement and helps to establish a proactive approach to operational challenges. In scenarios involving supply chain and logistics, addressing issues at the ground level with the personnel directly involved is often more effective than implementing broader changes without understanding the specific circumstances.
