7. DECISIONS AND JUDGEMENTS All decisions on a daily basis are shared between the people in stores, as for example the destination of a certain item. How much stock should be ordered for stores (this in Inventory Controllers absence only)? Example of judgements that are made is: Prioritisation of urgent deliveries. The level of stock that should be issued to wards and ICU (this in Inventory Controllers absence only). The position of stores person is answerable to the Inventory Controller. 8. COMMUNICATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS We communicate with all our customers, example: the wards, the admin. departments. All the people that work with us on a daily basis. The outside customers such as companies that deliver on a daily basis. All the relationships with our customers and the drivers are kept open at all times. 9. PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF THE JOB All the physical demands are on a daily basis, from shifting pallets to moving and handling boxes. Stocking of the store shelves and moving of heavy gas cylinders. Also unloading vans which are unable to use the docking ramp. 10. MOST CHALLENGING/DIFFICULT PARTS OF THE JOB The most difficult part of the job can be when the delivery note and isn’t very clear straight forward. Also when a load is very difficult to move, or when a package comes in and it is unclear where it has to go. When a new member of staff joins the Board and you have to locate their area. Another challenging aspect of the job is if a nurse comes to the stores department and enquires about a new product they are not sure about. 11. KNOWLEDGE, TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED TO DO THE JOB The stores job involves getting to know the products you issue. Customer Service knowledge and comprehensive experience in warehousing and with computerised stock control systems.
