Fill out the forklift checklist with the needed information on the condition of forklift. Examine schedule for the shift of product to be run. Make sure the correct lot is staged and ready to run. Operate the computerized barcoding system. Place product on depallet so the depallet operator can fill the line prior to startup. Check that the line has pallets and bboxes/trays to start running.

Complete a pallet ticket for each pallet of finished product. Keep Lakeside pallets separate from truck pallets. Return any unused pallets to warehouse. Make dumpster available and empty when necessary. Remove papers from depallet when necessary. If your line is down because of defective product, help sort out product.
