Pulling Items from a List

You are reading this because you have a list of items to pull for some reason or other.

This guide will introduce you to methodology used to pull items, and how to find said items in our warehouse.

To complete this guide you will need:

  • List of Items to be Pulled
  • A Bin (bucket, tote, box) to Place the Items In.

This guide assumes you are in the main warehouse with the list of items in hand. If you do not have that list, please go back to whatever task you were on and print the list.

Pulling the Items

  1. Look at the first non-pulled item on your list.
  2. Somewhere you will see a column for 'Bin No.' It is usually on the left.
  3. Walk to the location code specified under the 'Bin No.' heading, making sure to bring your item list and bucket or bin with you.
  4. Match the item code on your listed item with the item code on the label for the location. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAL!!!! If the item in the bin does NOT match the description on the tag, do NOT put it into your bin or box. Example: needing 1“ strut clamps but 3/4” are actually in the bin.
  5. Take the quantity of items specified on your list from the shelf bin and put them into the bin or bucket in your hand.
    1. All items that are small and could be mixed up in the tote…… need to be individually bagged, using plastic bags
      1. This would be items like 2“ & smaller copper, blk irn, galv, pvc fittings, screws, strut clamps, loop hangers, nuts, washers, etc.
      2. This would NOT INCLUDE ABS fitting, or any fitting over 2”
  6. Write the quantity you pulled on the list if there is a square provided to do so.
  7. Repeat the above steps until all the items on your list are in the bucket or bin.
  8. Write on the bin or box, in thick permanent marker, what job this order is for clearly and boldly.
  9. If there are any shorted items, CALL the superintendent of the job and ask if there is anything else that will work for the shorted items, follow their instructions after that.
  10. Place the bins or boxes for that job, grouped together, in the “Requisitions” Bay.
  11. Once finished pulling the items and they are all in the “Requisitions” Bay, go into the office supply room and use the copier to make a copy of the picklist
    1. Put one copy into the box it belongs to and the other copy into the warehouse manager's “material orders” file folder

You are done pulling items for this list!
