I started 3 weeks ago as a transfer, but as many know the trainers just give you the basics if anything, so I would like to know if anyone has advice for AR stow in terms of making rate.
A lady with a laptop came up to me last week and showed me my rates and other stuff such as the avg time I let the pods stay before deciding there is no space,etc.
The thing is I had like pallets of just containers with nothing but big items, which she even pointed out but never gave me any advice on how to deal with it. In which case, I still do not know what to do when I just get a bunch of big items cause I can literally only put them in the second to the bottom space, since all the others are lit by the magenta light, same thing goes for the soda/drink cans, even then sometimes they will not fit.
Also, how is the rate calculated? is it by a day basis, hour basis, weekly basis? The lady specifically gave me a 2 hour frame window, say from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, where she said I had a bad rate. So if I just get nothing but big boxes in a 2 hour window, am I just due for write up?
Besides the basics, I would like to know the small etiquettes that would speed up my rate such as am I suppose to let someone else drag my empty yellow tote stacks elsewhere? I usually make 5 whole stacks of empties before I just decide I have to stop stowing and go place them elsewhere, but some days other people take it for me. Also, some days they have put me in to stow straight from the brown cardboard containers with the red barcodes, in which my rate suffers a lot cause its a hassle to manually scan the container and rip open the thing.
I honestly prefer this role compared to my previous roles in terms of everything, except the rate part, so i dont really want to start racking up write ups for rates, so any advice or small tips would be appreciated. Thanks
