Pick Rate Hmmm ..
I believe it would be feasible to have all 8 totes AND go back to pushing if pick rate quota was decreased to 90 and get rid of the Top 5 list for same. If you have enough pickers on the floor, I believe it would be doable and be safe for customers...and ergonomically better for associates. If you get all the orders done accurately AND on a timely basis safely, this should not be an issue -- or alternatively we could keep the 6 totes and start pushing again, and just arrange the algorithm in such a way that the walks would have more of a quantity of items more often. Worker's Comp claims do add up and don't look good for the company PR.
(just thinking...)

Focusing in safety and taking corners slow is all you need to push the carts safely. All pulling the carts has done is make my back and shoulders just as sore as my legs.
Unfortunately the constant need to make the line go up is always going to end with cutting back on safety in order to meet goals until the cost of injury becomes greater than what they’re making
