Checklist for Management Trainees of Hypermarket format

For the management trainees of hypermarket format the way to proceed will be bit different from the management trainees of Departmental stores. Hypermarket format much more SKUs compared to Departmental stores therefore trainees need to proceed merchandise category wise rather than brand wise.
The Checklist for the trainees of Hypermarket format is as under:
1. Printout of store layout.
2. Department wise area allocated.
3. Choose a department where you will like to start from.
4. Take a printout of all the merchandise category in that department.
5. Find out the price range offered in that category.
6. Find out the most sold price point in that category through team members of the department. Because in hypermarket format we work on price points rather than on brands.
7. Take the product knowlege.
8. Do an 80:20 analysis that is 20% of the merchandise category in the department will account for 80% of the sales for the section.
9. Look for the reasons why the rest 80% merchandise are not performing well. If that can be improved on.
10 Look for the contribution of the section in terms of sales, profits and area to the store. I believe this would give you the complete knowledge about that department.
11.Spend a day at cashering
12. Spend a day at Customer Service Desk.
13. One Day each with VM, HR and Marketing.
14. Then some days at Supply Chain Mangement: Here learn all the inward outward processes and all the commands on S.A.P. to do so. Learn the various commands on systems and how to generate Purchase order, Stock Transfer Order, etc.
15. Spend one day with IT/ Admin.
16. After this you can proceed with other departments of the store or whatever your project requires.
All The Best!!!!
