Checklist for Management trainees of Retail World

This post is for management trainees of the retail sector who go for their training in a store and find themselves lost, as their mentor or anyone is too busy to attend them.
This time I have been lucky enough to do my training under the guidance of a mentor who is always ready to help and to listen to anyone in the store.
So for the management trainees who enter in a department store, I am posting a checklist which they can follow to get themselves acquainted with the store and the operations of the store. this checklist is done with the help of my present mentor Mr. Rohit Singh, who has helped me to device a plan for my training.
1. Print out of Store Layout
2. Brandwise area allocated
3. Brand Matrix
4. Name of all Brands
5. Price Points of Each Brand (the price band)
6. Most selling Price Point in each brand
7. Top to bottom ratio for each brand: This is the topwear and bottomwear of a brand
8. Fixture capacity of brands
9. Contribution of brands to their departements and to the store.
10. Fabric awareness
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. And then on your Project, which you would have half covered by going through the above checklist.
I hope it would help you.....
All The Best!!!
In my next post I will try and post a checklist for the people doing their training in Hypermarket format.
