What is going on

Three deliveries are booked for the receiving dock this morning: navel oranges in bulk bins for the juice line, whey powder that must go to quarantine pending a microbiological result, and a pallet of printed sleeves for snack line 2. The sleeves need particular care because an obsolete sleeve with a superseded allergen statement was found on the line this week. Each delivery must be inspected on the dock before it moves, using the Goods Receipt Inspection Form, checked against the approved supplier register and the specification, and entered in the receipts system with the correct status. Danny Papadopoulos has said that anything doubtful goes to quarantine, not to the line.

Danny Papadopoulos, Warehouse and Logistics Manager
Subject: Receiving tomorrow, three deliveries including whey and sleeves

Tomorrow morning you are on the receiving dock. Three deliveries are booked: oranges in bulk bins, whey powder and a pallet of printed sleeves for snack line 2. Each one gets a full goods receipt inspection before it moves off the dock: vehicle, temperature, lot numbers, allergen declaration, approved supplier check and certificate of analysis. The sleeves are sensitive after yesterday's artwork problem, so check the artwork version carefully. Enter each lot in the receipts system with the right status and label every pallet. Anything doubtful goes to quarantine, not to the line.

Your brief

Inspect and receive three deliveries in line with the goods receipt inspection form and the approved supplier register, make the correct accept, quarantine or reject decision for each, label every pallet and record each lot in the receipts system with the right allergen and quarantine status.
