Hi Pages,
The main plan with this new automated handling system is to get items back on the shelves as quickly as possible. We're trying to organize the flow of materials. Here's how I want you to handle the AV materials.
1. Only fill the top of any cart.
2. Put NonFiction on a cart (again, only the top, one layer), check the cases, lock the foreign language cases and BRING IT UPSTAIRS IMMEDIATELY! We are no longer using the shelf for nonfiction. I will laminate signs that say "Nonfiction Cart" for you to clip on.
3. AV carts will first come to the AV area closest to the bookdrop. These carts will have 2 signs on them: date/time and "Discharged. Check cases."
When you have checked the cases, move the cart up to the next station, and change the sign to "Alphabetize and lock".
4. Alphabetize and lock the cases. Line up the carts along the wall, oldest closest to FM&M door.
Let me know how it is going!
Thanks, Pam

Hey Pam,
I think we should just stick to the way that we have always done it. Because with the way you are saying some people will just always check and never shelve, and other people will always be stuck shelving other people's work. This system may work for the bookdrop but they have assigned postions unlike us. We should just do what we have always done where you shelve what you check.
Thanks,
The AV pages
I totally agree, i came into work today to find the whole backroom full of carts but i can't start it because i have to now shelve the stuff next to the door.
