Where's the Standards?

Whenever you take an item off the shelf, all you have to do is to push the remaining items to the left to close the gap. That’s all you have to do. It just makes things look tidier and it also helps the delivery guys as they can see how much space is remaining on that shelf. You don’t even have to move everything that’s there. Often you can take the item at the end and place it in the gap that you’ve made. But does everyone do it? Of course not. They’re just keen to get that customer served so that they can get back to standing around doing nothing. Some just might slide their arm down the shelf and make things worse by pushing items into the adjacent shelf. And some forget to pull stock forward which then gets buried behind other stuff and causes delays when you try to find that stuff later.
