Settlers: who is it, what are they doing?

"All professions are needed, all professions are important!" - each of us remembers these lines from the poem by S. Ya. Marshak. Today we will talk about the importance of work in the life of a person, about such specialty as pickers: who it is, what they do, what qualities they should possess. It must be said that there is no need for higher education, it is enough just to have a secondary or secondary special education. In addition, work on this specialty involves career growth to the storekeeper and warehouse manager.

Packers - who is this?

The packer is a warehouse employee who is engaged in bundling customer orders with those materials that are specified in the application, as well as the storage of these goods and their inventory.

To work in this specialty, you need to have such professional qualities as knowledge of the basic rules for the acquisition of materials, pricing policy and the whole range of products; Rules of storage and conditions of storage of commodity units; Methods of packing, weighing mechanisms, as well as knowledge of the procedure for issuing documents. For this, the storekeeper-komplektovschik must possess such personal characteristics as responsibility and accuracy, should have a good memory and be attentive.

Ensuring the safety of goods

The packer must strictly observe the rules of packaging and marking of products, establish the exact number of goods shipped (boxes, sacks, bales, etc.), complete each unit with a shipping label when shipped.

As already mentioned, the picker should be able to correctly draw up the documentation (technical passport, certificate, accounting documents, etc.) and send the documents in time to the recipient.

Duties

The picker selects the goods and transports them to the picking site; Verifies the names and quantity of materials with the data specified in the documentation; Manages the goods; Weighs it, packs it, fills labels and tags, and also specifies the address of the recipient and prepares the goods for inventory.

Technology for the selection of orders

Settlers in their work can use different equipment to select the goods that the client ordered. To date, there are two types of equipment known: high-level, having a rising cab for the operator, and low-level forklifts. The loader-picker, using a low-level pick-up, can carry up to three pallets simultaneously. To do this, use forks with a lifting up to two meters or a platform for lifting the operator by one meter, which makes it possible to gain goods from the rack of both the first and second level.

For picking goods from the second and third levels of the rack, the picker uses a high-level loader. The cab rising with the operator moves simultaneously with the car along the aisle.

A responsibility

Pickers (who knows this, we already know) should be able to work at a fast pace, without losing focus, since this work is motor. The employee is responsible for refusing to perform his duties or performing poor performance, as well as for offenses committed in the course of activities and causing material damage.

Salary

Today, the profession of the picker in the labor market is inadequate, since wages do not exceed the average level. In the Russian capital, it is up to twenty-eight thousand rubles, and in the regions - up to twenty-five thousand.

For those who have worked for some time as a setter, it is possible to raise the career ladder to the storekeeper, and then to the warehouse manager.

Thus, answering the question: "Pickers - who is this?", We can say that these are people who not only form a customer order, but also have many responsibilities for the safety and delivery of these materials to the recipient.
