• Look through work orders to determine and separate shipping and receiving tasks of the day • Create
staff schedules and ensure that each
staff member follows them properly • Assign shipping and receiving tasks to each warehouse worker, depending on his or her ability to cope • Supervise both shipping and receiving activities to ensure conformance to work orders and company protocols • Oversee incoming and outgoing shipments to ensure accuracy and completeness of shipments • Determine space requirements for
stored items and received ones and ensure that sufficient space is
allocated to each category • Handle routing and legal load limits of outbound shipments to ensure that they conform to the state's legal load requirements • Inspect loading and unloading activities to make sure that they are in compliance with shipping and receiving specifications • Prepare bills of lading and post weight and shipping charges according to shipment specifications
