🌨️❄️ Just survived a week in the freezer as Head of Fulfilment at Complete 3PL! Here's a glimpse into my icy adventure: 🌡️ Temperature: -6 degrees (feeling more like the North Pole than a warehouse) 📦 Tasks: 1. Mastering the delicate dance of stock control and WMS in sub-zero conditions. 2. Leading the team through frosty challenges, proving that teamwork makes the dream work even in the cold. 3. Unloading containers faster than you can say "frozen freight frenzy." 4. Navigating the logistical labyrinth to ensure timely and efficient transport organization. 📍 Locations: 1. Shringley Hall 2. Manchester 3. Winsford 4. Stoke ❄️ Despite the frosty weather, the team's spirits are hotter than ever! 🔥 Let's keep the chill vibes alive and the shipments rolling. Cheers to staying cool under pressure! ❄️🚚 #FulfillmentAdventures #ColdStorageMastery #TeamCoolingInTheFreezer

The most difficult warehouses to work in are those without an SOP. Within the same organization you find things being done differently and since there's no operating procedures they get away with it because no one cares where the cost of an error will go to. Warehouse professionals have got to be effective in reducing operational cost since we're all aiming for profitability in the business.

When issuing an item from a warehouse or store the item "PART NO" is very important. Any mistake in issuing a wrong "PART NO" can spell doom to the warehouse manager/supervisor. Note: Theirs a big difference between "ITEM NO" and "PART NO".

✅ Practical points related to warehouse and logistic (P2) ✅ The Warehouse can be divided into sectors according to the product being handled or the work operations. The following diagram illustrates an example of this type of organization: 1. Office and customer services. 2. Loading and unloading docks. 3. Reception and verification. 4. Dispatch. 5. Warehouse for high turnover or over-sized product. 6. High turnover picking off pallets. 7. Warehouse for odd-shaped products. 8. Warehouse for medium turnover components. 9. Warehouse for high turnover components. 10. Warehouse for low turnover components. 11. Warehouse for high-value products. 12. Packaging and consolidation. Please share if it seems useful 👍🏻 🙏🏻

Scaling a business is a journey, not a sprint. It requires time to build solid foundations, adapt to growth, and overcome challenges. Patience is key, as sustainable success doesn’t happen overnight.
