Order picking role at a stationery supplier
The order picker's job involves:
| • | Picking orders from shelves (Approximately 700 items are picked per hour) |
| • | The shelves are from ground level to approximately shoulder height |
| • | Goods weigh from a few hundred grams to 3kg |
Items picked are variable:
| • | They range from light and small items such as a bag of rubber bands, to heavier items such as a ream of paper |
| • | Some items, such as reams of paper, can be awkward to remove from the boxes they are stored in, however most of the other items are lighter and less difficult to maneuver |
| • | Bulk items are not handled in this area |
| • | The collected items are placed in the boxes on the conveyer system, and then the process repeated |
