The production schedule/plan is the first key step in being able to successfully run and obtain a picklist. The Director of Planning usually submits the proposed following weeks plan to ownership for approval on Tuesday morning. Once approved, it is submitted to the Sr. production manager who then breaks the weekly schedule down by day. Once finish, the schedule is then inputted into the system by day, which the picklist then pulls the information from.

The Picklist is a vital tool used to confirm and verify if all necessary components are available to be positioned in the proper manufacturing facilities to accommodate for the scheduled production run. Getting the production schedule on time is key to ensuring all items are verified and shuttled in a timely fashion to their required manufacturing site. All items listed on the picklist are to be physically counted then reviewed prior to submitting transfer request. Please see attached SOP for Picklist Verification.

The South warehouse will manage shared raw & plastic components that are purchased and shipped into the North (some examples may include, invert sugar, nuts, chocolate, labels & 14 oz plastic). Pick list should be ran and reviewed on Wednesday, and have all directed transfer request entered by 12 noon. This request will be for all needed components for the following week. Requested items for the south are shipped between Thursday and Friday to be remotely available for the next weeks production run. Please see attached SOP for JS Order Request.
