SECTION 2: SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

Specific Outcome:
Stock is located and picked with due regard to storage plans, despatch orders and shipping
instructions.

Assessment Criteria
 Location of goods is identified based on size, codes, labelling and product type.

 Actions to deal with health and safety emergencies are generated and considered in terms of
their impact on production and losses
Flow of goods through the organisation

these days we want to order goods to arrive just in time for our purposes:
 Either to resell to our customers, or

 To manufacture something to resell to our customers.

This means that the ordering, stock keeping and flow of goods through the organisation is very
important. If we receive goods from suppliers “Just In Time”, we have to make sure that the goods
are taken up in the stockholding of the organisation immediately so that the goods can be sent to
the departments who need them without any delay.

As outsiders or customers, we do not usually think how goods that are delivered to a business flows
through the business before it is sold.
In the case of a manufacturer, the goods would be parts that are assembled into a whole product
and then sold. In this case, the goods flow from the receiving department to the stores as parts to
the assembly line where the different parts are built into a whole product, back to stores as a whole
product, to despatch from where it is sent to customers.
