[INSIGHT] Refresher on inbound fill rate

Tomorrow you’ll receive a 15-minute training via email to improve your hub’s inbound performance. With our goal of 100% product inbound, let's refresh your knowledge of inbound fill rate and much more.. 🧠🤓

🤓 Inbound fill rate: The fill rate is the percentage of products that are booked in with respect to the products that were expected at the hub.

To-Do’s

  1. Review the Inbound Checker for deviations on daily basis

  2. For every delivery Inbound all SKUs received on the same day

  3. Outbound damaged or perished SKUs received during inbounding

Why it's important:

  • We prevent over-delivery of goods that have not been booked, thereby reducing waste.

  • We reduce pre order issue rates and stock corrections because we catch errors in the stock faster

Resources:

[INSIGHT] Always keeping an eye on the inbound - the Same-day Inbound Checker explains

The Same-day Check in the Inbound Checker is divided into 3 sections:

  1. Rolli count and IDs

  2. Inbound deviations

  3. Inbounding fillrate

[REMINDER] Use air conditioning effectively with PVC curtains

Summer is back. ☀️Also, stay cool 😎 and please continue to pay attention to the following note:
When using the air conditioner, please put the PVC curtains on to prevent warm air from entering the cooled hub and allow the air conditioner to work effectively.

SSC - Weekly Update - Week 32

[INSIGHT] A high number of unsolved tickets in both teams

  • Due to absences in both teams (Workforce Support and People Services) and July payroll cycle started for the Workforce Support Team, we have a high number of unsolved tickets in both queues. We have 1623 open cases for Workforce support and 496 cases for People Services.

  • We expect to be able to solve multiple cases during the week and reduce this number.

  • We kindly ask you to remind the employees to not open multiple tickets so that their issues can be solved more quickly and to choose the best suitable option in the contact form for faster reply times.

Fleet Updates

__________________________________

[REMINDER] Zendesk tickets for Fleet topics (e.g. for theft reports)

  • Since recently, Zendesk tickets can be created for fleet topics. Some of these tickets are forwarded directly to the suppliers, which allows a much faster response to the requests.

  • Today we take a closer look at the tickets that go directly to the respective bike supplier (usually their Regional Manager): Service quality tickets. Flink HQ still sees the tickets and can intervene at any time.

  • By reporting these problems, the suppliers get an overview of which mechanics may be working uncleanly or not following processes (e.g. notification of repaired bikes).

  • The tickets also enable an evaluation of whether the quality of service is improving. Condition: Tickets are always created when the service quality is not right.

  • The tickets will soon also be available in German. 🚀

[ACTION] Bike Spacer - Schedule Special Task and mount spacers

  • To the hubs with the white Cycle Henry I bikes that were mistakenly sent spacers: for future projects with the boxes / saddlebags, the spacers may still become relevant. Therefore, keep them for the time being.

In the google drive folder you will find the G sheet files for all the hubs that are affected in the shelf changing. Please only follow the ones that have exactly the same naming of your hubs and also be careful with following the same hub code while downloading the files.

Please find the file here {LINK}

Some notes on the sheets:

  • the sheets are, as mentioned above, Hub specific. So only the sheet named with your hub code counts;

  • "SKU" you can find a the SKU which needs to be moved to another shelf space;

  • "oldShelf" - 4th column: If the cell is empty, we just assigned this product to your Hub, so please just store it in the shelf mentioned in "new shelf";

  • "newShelf" - 5th column: If the cell is empty, you can get rid of the product (same process like delisting);

  • if both "shelf" and "newShelf" have a shelf number, it's a normal shelf change.

The changes will go live tonight between 01 am and 07 am, please reorder the products tonight/ tomorrow morning.
