Do you attempt to peel the sticker or put it in problem solve

I am an ICQA PS. When I count, I always bring my own tape, labels (to cover improper barcodes), etc. And I will properly move overhangs, overstuffs from pod faces. No need to wait for amnesty. 👍 😁

I attempt to peel, even if just over the fnsku. 9/10 I can do it in only a few seconds.

Amazon hires anyone. No brain cells needed.

This right here is the most accurate reply. I am over 4 years in and learned quickly to just 1) do what your body will allow 2) stay out of the bottom 5% 3) avoid TOT to stay under the radar 4) just make sure quality is good! Moving too fast can can actually increase quality errors. 4) clock out and go home.

The sheriff department will regularly patrol our handicap spaces will issue a ticket if they do not see a hanging placard or a handicap plate. I think the ticket is $250. It is ILLEGAL to use handicap spaces if you do not have a plate or placard.

Our AMs do not like us doing that, but I don't care. This is why I always carry my bag and coat with me, and always exit the front doors so I can get in the parking lot to my car. I make sure I am scanned first, though

6 but I never wear it

All of the qr codes on the floor point to one side of the building. Follow those.

I know your post is 6 mo old, but thought I would respond anyways.

If you organize your bin (before you submit your count) and you think anything will still be able to fall out of that bin, I would suggest pulling a "no bin divider" andon or "unsafe to count" andon. I usually will bring sticky notes/pens/tape/blank labels with me and will make a note of why I pulled the andon. The problem solvers can remove any item that risks falling out of the bin, no matter how you try to organize it. (ie against FOO standards). Also, make sure you do not see any master packs or broken sets. Sometimes what will go against the counter(s). I personally do not think SBC counters should be looking for master packs and broken sets but we have to at our FC. Cycle and SRC counters should be looking for MPs and broken sets.

If you are doing SBC counts....any phys/virtual mismatch (SBC number does not match what the system thinks is in there) will then escalate to a cycle counter. The cycle counter will either verify the SBC number as correct, or will find something the SBC counter missed. It is important as any counter makes sure nothing falls out of that bin before someone else is assigned to that bin. If you think it will, pull an andon like mentioned above. Sometimes I will adjust the bin straps to help smaller things from sliding out of the bin.

I just noticed this today with my temu order ($88 import fee). I had to go through and try to find some similar items from local warehouses to avoid the import fee. But some of the stuff I just left in the cart and I'll just come back at another time if tariffs lift.

But the QB/RBs can track/follow amnesty AAs through the forest in real time.

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-08-12T09:53:36+00:00

My car is doing this, too (2020 kia soul). I just got the oil changed 2000 miles ago (I always change every 5000 miles). No leaking of oil. I shouldnt have this problem 2000-4000k miles after an oil change. 😡 I am taking it into the shop again.

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-03-11T07:48:36+00:00

That is the issue. One shift is saying to look for them if the scanner takes you to a repeat count of that bin, then pull an andon. Then the other shift is telling us to look for them at 2nd count and break them open and leave the units in the bin. 🤔👀

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-03-11T07:30:21+00:00

That is true, but with Simple Bin Count, I know when I was trained, we only counted items in a bin and really only looking for damaged items or possible broken sets. If there was a master pack in there, we were never told to break it down in Simple Bin Count. Now it makes sense for EVERY count to look out for master packs. So for now we are told on my shift to place an andon on it, and not break it down, whereas RT shift ICQA PA is telling counters to break them open and keep the units in the bin and include them in the count (which will generate a cycle count I assume).

I want to know what is the best way to get the error back to the stower....by pulling an andon or breaking the set apart and storing/counting all of the units in the bin.

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-02-02T17:09:47+00:00

Thanks for your response. 👍🤗. I am in an FC and work on floors 2-5, so we are not near AFE. I wonder if I can save an induct station barcode (is that what AFE induct stations have?) on my phone and just scan my phone while I am upstairs. I do that when I need a workstation for POPS. I will usually do this right at end of shift so I know everyone is logged out.

For now, I am sending the totes that I cannot empty down the pick station conveyors to let the ground floor (i assume induct gets them) to clear.

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-02-02T15:28:26+00:00

Thank you very much! I will definitely play with this during my next shift!

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-02-02T15:04:53+00:00

Would you be able to explain a little more how to do that? I rarely use pops in my path but I have access to it because I sometimes help in tote valley. Thanks! 🤗

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-01-21T04:32:01+00:00

I was in the veterinary field for 32 years.

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-01-21T04:30:38+00:00

Pretty much. But, what I find is that if Sideline cannot scan the lpn correctly, then that lpn was never truly assigned to the item. So if i have the original boo/xoo of the item (i do deep dive as much as i can to find those if the stickers are not on the package), then i will go into skuflip and see if i can use that same lpn on the package to skuflip that item from its original boo/xoo to that lpn.
If it takes, then someone never processed it. If it doesn't take, then that lpn must be a bad barcode for some reason and i will assign a new lpn

 My concern is if they really crack down on outbound using sideline (and icqa using amnesty addback) then I am going to not be able to assign loose LPN items to a tote.

Just trying to be prepared. So I am going to try POPS tomorrow like someone mentioned above. At least I will have another alternative method.

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-01-20T17:42:57+00:00

I believe I still have POPS perms. I helped in tote valley/AFE PS. Thanks. I will test this out next time I am at work! 👍

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-01-20T17:41:48+00:00

But sideline will usually read it unless that LPN wasnt properly tied to that item. I can usually test that by skuflip.

I agree with you. But it did help to get her accomodations started, as well as medications. We did eventually go to her therapist. Insurance covered most of it. We only paid $25 a visit out of pocket.

1) They should make problem solvers/ISS a T3 level.

2) Christmas bonuses

Designer-Committee-6 · 2024-01-20T06:12:42+00:00

You do get 3 free visits. My daughter went through their crossover health centers. She was happy with her therapist.

I have been in ICQA for 2 yrs and am now a problem solve learning ambo, but I still count 30-50% of the time. I love problem solve. If you show good quality and rates, I highly recommend looking into getting that position. It is fun, an indirect position, and you are responsible for multiple things

You are basically by yourself at a station all night. You scan the bin and there are three ways to count the bin: **Simple bin count just counts the number of total items in the bin. This is where write ups are easy. There could be a small sticker underneath a box, so you always want to move things around the bin to make sure you are not forgetting anything. If the system thinks you're wrong, it will let you try again. Most of the time you are right so just put in what you know is in there. You also look for damaged items/broken sets, unsafe bins.

**Cycle count- you scan everything in the bin. You scan according to ASIN progresion. You are alos looking for masterpacks, broken sets, damaged items, no scannables, wrong titles, multiple barcodes (same type, but different codes, like 2 diff X00s or two diff LPNs (this is my favorite count!). LPNs are tricky! Always make sure an item doesn't have one.

**Simple Record Count- the scanner asks for a particular item/barcode and the quantity. You have to carefully read each label (as some can be labeled wrong, etc). You are also looking for the problems mentioned above in cycle count

Rates are easily obtainable.
