Planogram Reset Compliance Audit

Post-reset retail audit to verify section tag accuracy, shelf position compliance, product facing depth, reset date documentation, and associate sign-off after a planogram change.

Audit Setup and Reset Documentation

• Reset date is documented and matches the current planogram change
  Verify the reset date/time is recorded and aligns with the approved reset schedule or store communication.
• Responsible associate or team sign-off is documented
  Record the associate, department lead, or manager who completed the reset.
• Planogram version or reset instruction reference is available
  Confirm the current planogram, reset guide, or merchandising instruction is available for comparison.
• Audit scope matches the correct section or bay
  Verify the audit is being performed on the intended section, bay, or fixture identified in the reset instructions.

Section Tag and Label Accuracy

• Section tag matches the approved department and fixture location
  Section header or tag should reflect the correct category, subcategory, and location for the reset.
• Shelf labels and product labels are accurate and legible
  Shelf tags, labels, and any strip signage should be readable, current, and aligned to the correct products.
• Price or item code on the tag matches the product placed below it
  Verify the tag, SKU, UPC, or item code corresponds to the product directly associated with that shelf position.
• Missing, damaged, or outdated tags are corrected or removed
  No obsolete, torn, or missing section tags should remain after the reset.

Shelf Position and Product Facing Compliance

• Products are placed in the correct shelf position
  Each SKU should be located in the exact shelf, slot, or peg position specified by the planogram.
• Product facing count matches the planogram requirement
  Enter the observed number of facings for the audited product group.
• Observed facings meet the required planogram minimum
  Confirm the number of facings on the shelf meets the approved reset standard.
• Product depth and front-to-back alignment are consistent
  Products should be fully stocked to the required depth and aligned so the front row presents evenly.
• Out-of-plan products are removed from the reset area
  No unauthorized, discontinued, or misplaced items should remain in the audited section.

Merchandising Presentation and Area Condition

• Shelves are neat, straight, and aligned to the reset standard
  Products should be fronted, aligned, and presented consistently across the section.
• Aisle access is clear and the reset area is free of obstructions
  Customers and associates should be able to access the section without blocked pathways or unsafe clutter.
• Damaged fixtures, broken shelf hardware, or missing components are documented
  Record any fixture damage that could affect planogram compliance or product presentation.

Final Verification and Sign-Off

• All critical reset items passed
  Confirm there are no critical non-conformances remaining in the audited section.
• Corrective actions are assigned for any deficiencies found
  Document the action owner and next step for each deficiency or non-conformance.
• Inspector sign-off completed
  Inspector or auditor signs off to confirm the audit was completed.
