Put-Away Training Checklist
The checklist (4 items)
Written as observable actions, so two trainers scoring the same shift land in the same place. In CrewSharp this is the Put-away & Stocking station in the Warehouse / Fulfillment starter set, filed under Receiving, and every item here is editable.
- 1Put stock away in the correct locationMust pass
- 2Scanned every move rather than working from memoryMust pass
- 3Stacked and secured loads safelyCritical
- 4Rotated stock so the oldest picks first
Print it, score it on a clipboard, or open it in Sheets. No email required.
What usually goes wrong
Scanning every move instead of working from memory is required for a reason that only appears later. An unscanned put-away is not wrong in the moment, it is wrong the next time somebody goes looking for that pallet.
The items a good total should not outweigh
- Stacked and secured loads safely
When to sign someone off
A workable bar for this station: no critical items missed, a score above a line you set for Put-away & Stocking specifically rather than one number for the whole building, and observed on more than one shift with at least one of them busy. Then date it, so it can expire.
That last part is the one people skip. A sign-off with no date cannot be re-checked, which means a year later you have a record that says somebody was ready once.
Stations that pair with this one
These are the stations someone on this one most often covers alongside it, which makes them the sensible second checklist to train.
Common questions
Why does put-away accuracy matter more than pick speed?
Because a picker can only be as fast as the location data allows. Time saved skipping a scan at put-away is paid back several times over by the pickers who then have to search, and by the counts that go looking for the discrepancy.
What should be on a put-away checklist?
The 4 items above cover it: put stock away in the correct location, scanned every move rather than working from memory, stacked and secured loads safely, and the rest of the list. Keep it in that range. Fewer and a pass proves very little; many more and trainers stop finishing it during a real shift.
Which items should count as critical?
On this station, one item is marked critical: stacked and secured loads safely. Missing one means not ready, regardless of the total score, because these are the failures that cannot be corrected after the fact.
Scoring it is the part that lasts
Run this Put-away & Stocking checklist on a tablet between rushes and CrewSharp keeps the rest: who is signed off, when it was last checked, and which item your crew misses most.
