RISK MA
As new stock is added to the storage area there will be a mixture of use by and expiry dates. To
ensure stock is not left in the storage area for long periods of time the FIRST IN - FIRST OUT principle
can be used.
Damaged Stock

For customers to be happy with their order it is important that stock items that go into the order are
in the best possible condition.
Stock items can:

 Be broken or damaged

 Have damaged packaging
 Become soiled or faded

It is important that stock that is in an unacceptable condition is not picked for an order. Damaged
stock should be removed and placed in the specially designated areas for damaged stock.
The number of items should be recorded so that accurate stock levels can be kept.

Sending items to Despatch
Once all of the items have been picked to make up an order they are moved into the Despatch Area
of the warehouse. Here the stock items from different picking zones are assembled to make up the
order and different orders are consolidated.
Assembling an order

The items that are required to make up the customer order are collected and placed on the correct
container ready for packing and despatch.
