How to set a planogram?

Ok setting a planogram is not that easy if your a beginner but I will walk you through it step by step. First you will need some shelf cleaner at Target that is spitfire you use this to sanitize the shelves all stores require that the shelves are clean. Next you will need the planogram or revision get this from your supplier, planogram team leader, or team leader. Gather shelf labels, shelf strips (explain in another blog), backer paper, hammer (if old store), and shopping cart (to pull product).

Now your ready so lets begin by reading your planogram to see whats changing, if the entire planogram is changing you will need to see whats on the materials list on the front page (fixtures, BP, Signing etc…) now if you have everything start with section 1 which is the first section from the main aisle. remove product, fixtures and maybe the backer paper then from the top is 72″ inside a gondola so most pog’s will have a height set at 72 or lower for instance if there is a header it may be 65″ so count down from the top if your not sure take a measuring tape and use it as a tool.

Now were at 65″ from the top and your planogram says the letter A 65, the holes are your alphabet a would be the very first hole on your left in this circumstance so place a fastback at A. next is D64 so go A, B, C, D and then one peg down to 64.  Great you have to continue this until your done.  ( This is for peghooks)

For shelves you need a measuring tape if it says 48″x18″ or 20, 22, 28″x18 this is for the gondola. So the measurement I prefer to use the line listing in the back of the planogram it list measurements such as 16″, 24″, 36.6″ and so on use these measurements to set your shelves by taking the measuring tape from the back of the pegboard and going up and place the shelf at the first measurement.

Next you need to read your planogram and get your information for your labels I know your tired but imagine we did this everyday and set up to 20 aisles a day 2 per hour 1/2.

look on your schematic for little numbers these numbers are the same numbers on your labels they could read 1, 2, 3 or the new format 1-p1-1, 1-f1-2 and so on p=peg, f=fixture, shelf labels say 1-1-1 and so on. If your lucky and have shelf strips you will see a 101 and up on the corner this is the shelf number 101 basedeck, 102 first shelf and so on.

1-p1-1 should be on the schematic and on the label which is how your planogram should look. Once you have done your planogram your done.

For questions please comment I may have left out some details.
