Out of Stock
How has Target performed? For a company that is supposed to rise above Wal-Mart….it doesn’t seem too well. At least in its supply chain process.
A recent visit….resulted in observing basic items out of stock. These are items that have to be in stock….day in and day out. Don’t disappoint the customer. It’s not that there were not enough associates to stock….there were. Where was the merchandise?
In our business….we never left an empty space on the floor. There was always another item that took its place. No empty spots for us.
Merchandising is what makes a good retail business….you can’t sell from an empty wagon.
