My Placement is taking place at Animal HQ in Poole.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

This week I have agreed with Kirsten that I can have Wednesday and Friday off for uni work.

Today was the same as any Monday. I had my set tasks to complete so I began with the top 10 bestsellers ready for the trade meeting and this particular day Kirsten asked me to paste the PDF into the presentation pack.

On Tuesday I completed the WSSI's and the Go pro comparisons. I then refereed to my faulty e-mails. These e-mails are sent through from the stores with a description of the product and what is faulty. These e-mails are usually responded to by the merchandising team to acknowledge the faulty items and authorise the destruction of the items. When I was last at Animal they had a faulty log that was filled in with all the items that come through on the e-mails. I found this excel document as since there had been redundancies at Animal this document was something the merchandising team were not aware of. As this was something I have been managing in my time at Animal I amended the document to recognise on each page when there was the same product code entered into the faulty log so that it could be recognised the products that were repeatedly being returned faulty. I also discussed with Kirsten an idea to create a page at the end of the document that with formula's could show the repeated faulty items so when it came to a buy or just providing feedback they had the information to review and back it up.
