Retrieving Pallets of Stock from Storage Bays

When retrieving a pallet of stock from a  location bay (ground or upper level)  for picking purposes:-

 

  1. Ensure the pallet is removed from the storage bay and physically relocated into a designated working area.

Do not leave the pallet in the aisles or at the end of the aisles  as causes obstructions.

  1. Stock should therefore be picked within the designated working areas.

The exception to this is where you are performing small quantity picks that do not require the pallet to be removed from the bay, and therefore can be picked in situ.

 

Putting away

  1. At the end of the pick, condense, consolidate and re box & relabel as necessary.
  2. If the stock  retrieved from upper bays, do not automatically assume it should be placed back there.
  3.  Given that the stock has actively been requested by the client, consider whether it is "live"  - i.e. for a current tour  - and if so, it should be physically put away in easier to access bays.
  4. If there is certainty that the stock is "dead", it can be considered as eligible to be put away in higher bays. However, this should be concluded based on experience.
  5. When putting away pallets in upper bays - ensure there are sufficient Hi Bay Category labels attached and facing out into the aisle.
  6. Best practice: If all the stock is in proof when putting away, process the location checked function to update the checked status and the date of checking and checked by user
