Five timed steps between an order line landing and a parcel standing at the collection door

RABEXA LTD sells by mail order and over the internet from one bench at 192A Broadway, Didcot. This page is about the last half hour of that trade rather than the catalogue at the front of it — the sequence turning a confirmed order line into a sealed, labelled parcel, and the one fixed moment every step is measured backwards from: the cutoff set by whoever is collecting.

A parcel on the packing bench, drawn in isometric projection, with a shipping label printing onto its upper face The label prints in four bands — address block, service band, routing code and barcode — then lifts slightly off the carton as the laminate is pressed down.

The parcel face as the packer sees it: the printer lays the label down in four bands and the barcode is drawn bar by bar. The only address printed on it is the registered office; consignee lines are never shown on this site.

The pick list is cut and the lines are put in walking order

  1. 01 Cut the list you are here
  2. sheet & empty tote 02 Walk and lift
  3. marked sheet 03 Check and pack
  4. measured carton 04 Label and apply
  5. labelled parcel 05 Stage at the door signed sheet out

A despatch starts when the order lines are frozen and the list is cut — printed once, in the sequence of the shelving rather than the sequence the customer typed. Lines sharing a shelf merge onto one row so the walk does not double back, and anything held separately for size or fragility drops to the end. The cut sheet carries its own reference, a line count and a unit count, and every later step reads from it.

Plan of four shelf runs with the printed walk drawn through them as one line The route enters at the bench, turns at the end of each run rather than doubling back, and the small crosses mark where a line is ticked off at the shelf. BENCH back
Crosses are ticks made at the shelf, where they happen. Latest start 16:14, 10.2 of 34 min of the allowance.

The walk is made and every lift is marked off on the sheet

The walk is made once, in the order printed, and each line is marked off at the shelf rather than at the bench — a lift ticked later is a lift ticked from memory. Where a line cannot be satisfied in full the shortfall is written at the shelf with the count actually lifted, and the walk carries on; the decision about a short line is taken at the bench, with the whole sheet in view.

Contents are read back against the sheet and packed to the void they need

Nothing is packed until the tote has been read back against the marked sheet out loud, line by line, and the counts agree.

The carton is then chosen for the void it has to fill rather than for being nearest: a box needing half a bag of fill is the wrong box, and so is one that has to be pressed shut. Fill goes under and around, not only on top, and the heaviest item sits over the base seam. Dimensions are measured on the sealed carton, not the flat one — that is the figure the weight sheet below wants.

The label is printed, read back and pressed onto the largest flat face

The label is printed from the measured carton, not from the order: the dimensions and weight on its face come off the sealed box. It goes on the largest flat face, clear of the tape line and of every edge, because a barcode bent across a corner is a barcode that gets hand-keyed. The routing line is read back against the sheet before the backing is peeled. Only one label is ever on a face; an old one comes off rather than being covered.

The parcel is staged at the collection door and counted onto the handover sheet

Staging is a step, not the gap at the end of one. The sheet is written as the parcels are set down. Anything that misses the collection stays staged with its sheet open and is counted onto the next one; it is not unpacked, not relabelled and not carried back to the bench.

  • In label orderthe stack reads the same way down as the sheet does.
  • Faces outwarda count can be taken without turning a box over.
  • One deepwherever the doorway allows it, and never across the door.

Cutoff checker — what time the parcel is ready, and the minutes spare or short

Enter the order time, the minutes allowed for the pick and pack, and the cutoff whoever is collecting has given you. The checker splits that allowance across the five steps in the ratio 1 : 3 : 3 : 1 : 2 and counts back from the cutoff to give each step its latest start. The ratio is how this bench models the sequence, not a measurement of it. Guide only.

Volumetric weight sheet — which of the two figures the carrier charges on

The sealed carton drawn in isometric projection on a gridded plate, with its three measured edges picked out The drawing redraws itself from the three measurements entered below, so the proportions on the plate are the proportions typed in. L 40 W 30 H 25

Volumetric 6.00 kg

On the scale 2.40 kg

Charged onthe volumetric figure, 6.00 kg

Measure the sealed carton, enter the divisor printed in the collection paperwork and the gross weight off the scale. The sheet multiplies the three dimensions, divides by the divisor and sets the result beside the actual weight, then names the greater of the two — the figure a carrier charges on. No money appears in it, and the divisor is whatever the paperwork says. Guide only.

40 × 30 × 25 = 30 000 cm³

30 000 ÷ 5000 = 6.00 kg volumetric

Routing line · OX11 8RN — 01

Nothing about a parcel is answered from one sheet. The marked sheet says what was counted into the carton and who agreed the count; the handover sheet says what left the door and who signed for it. They lie over one another on the bench because that is how they are read: the routing line printed on the parcel face is on both, and it is the only thing tying a count made at the bench to a parcel signed for at the kerb.
