Consolidating Orders.

A number of orders are grouped together to make a single load which is going to the same delivery
place. Consolidating orders provides an effective and cost-efficient way of despatching orders.
Despatch is the final step in the delivery of goods to the customer.

The picked goods are checked against the purchase order to ensure that the correct items are being
despatched.
Once checked the picked items are then:

 Packaged together into appropriate containers (unitised)
 Labelled with handling information and delivery details

 Loaded onto vehicles for delivery to the customer.
Occupational Health & Safety Act (Act 85/93)

Your safety and that of your fellow workers is of prime concern, especially when loads are moved
above persons, equipment and property. People do not always think of the consequences of their
acts which almost always results in injury, damage to property. All of which can be prevented if all
persons work to specifications and standards.
