Packing Lead

Position summary

Own the outbound gate. Run final inspection, lacing, cleaning, boxing and shipping so that what leaves the dock matches the order and matches the standard.

Essential functions

• Run the final quality gate. Every pair is inspected against the standard before it goes in a box.
• Verify pair match, size stamp, style, box label and carton contents against the order.
• Sequence packing against the ship schedule and the carrier cutoff.
• Control heel pad, insole, lace, tissue and box inventory. Raise a shortage before it stops shipping.
• Run returns triage: inspect, grade and route any returned pair into repair, recommerce or scrap.
• Maintain the outbound defect log and take it back to the department that caused the defect.
