Order Picking: Read order slips, pick lists, or digital prompts (via handheld barcode scanners or voice-guided systems) to locate and retrieve the right items and quantities from shelves, bins, or pallets.
Quality Inspection: Check items for damage, expiration dates, missing parts, or incorrect SKUs before packing.
Packing & Sealing: Select appropriate cartons, padded mailers, or crates, arrange items with protective filling (bubble wrap, paper, or foam), and seal the boxes securely.
Labeling & Weighing: Weigh packages, print accurate shipping labels or barcodes, and stage them in the correct dock or carrier lane.
Inventory & Maintenance: Restock shelves, record counts into the warehouse management system (WMS), handle returns/damages, and clear debris to maintain safety.
Equipment Operation: Use tools such as hand scanners, tape guns, box cutters, shrink-wrap machines, pallet jacks, carts, or certified forklifts.
