Defined Roles
Who is at the gate, who is on the racks, who does the count: written down by name for every shift.
Two things run side by side on the floor: written rules and people who trust each other. Because everyone knows what to do, the floor runs on confidence, not tension.
01RULES
Every task has an owner and a limit; the shift changes, the rule doesn't. These six points are what everyone who joins learns on day one.
Who is at the gate, who is on the racks, who does the count: written down by name for every shift.
Receiving, dispatch and stock counts are never closed without a second person's signature.
A pallet is received the same way today as it will be three months from now.
A movement that isn't scanned on the handheld terminal is treated as if it never happened.
A discrepancy, damage or mismatch is written up and reported on the shift it is found; it never waits until tomorrow.
Fire and evacuation drills run on a schedule; the team never hears the alarm for the first time in a real event.
02TEAM
What keeps a warehouse in order is not the rules but people who believe in them. Here mistakes are talked about, not hidden; a shift ends when the work is done; a newcomer is never left alone on the first day.
A problem raised early is a cheap problem; everyone knows it, and nobody hides what they have noticed.
The day doesn't end until the work does; handover is face to face and in writing.
Everyone who keeps an aisle in order owns that aisle.
03A DAY ON THE FLOOR
Four moments, in the same order every day.
Vehicles due, critical lots, open issues and a safety reminder: in a few minutes everyone is on the same page.
Who works which area with which equipment; no task is left undefined.
Receiving, put-away and dispatch run with terminal verification; critical work gets a second signature.
Work done and open issues are written down; the next shift starts knowing exactly where it takes over.
CAREERS
Even when no position is advertised, we read every general application; when a suitable role opens, we get in touch.
