  6. Defense Commissary Agency Distribution: Speed to Market How can we insure stores will order new items within six working days after the item has been allocated to their store for 100% of new items? Store Operational Alert # 71 was sent out to reiterate the proper procedure for ordering new items. New items will be ordered once a week on a separate pull so items can be placed in the new item section of the warehouse. The Speed To Shelf Report identifies when a new item was allocated to a store, when the store placed their first order, the date of receipt and date sold. Zone managers should use the report as a checklist to verify stores are placing orders and the items are moving to the shelf within seven working days after receipt.

Policy guidance will be going out in the very near future out to explain the proper procedure for ordering phased items. Phase out items will be identified and ordered until the item has a zero BOH. At that time the label will be removed from the shelf and deactivated in CAO.
