We separate ours and put them in their respective carts also. It's so much better than having 300 collates sitting in the printers or off to the side lol. Also, how well do you guys know Manhattan? I never pay attention to most of the stuff on the dashboard because its wrong. What I usually do to make sure today's orders are done is go to OLPN and bring up all the list of all the printed collates then check to see which carts if any are still left before the time stamp of 4:30 our time. The fun part is also looking at that information to see who packed stuff wrong too (like why is there still a collate from AB not packed but the cart is empty?) >:| We also don't drop tomorrow's orders until today's are done to avoid the confusion altogether.
I know how to look to see what has been printed, packed, and staged and I like now how it says which cart it comes from so we can reprint collates for 1 or 2 things left in a cart. We also don't drop tomorrow's orders until all the today batches are done. It makes it easier for the packers to label the carts because the carts are always being moved around to let people through in the backroom so sometimes you just do whatever cart's closer with the collates on it when it might not be a today batch.
Only our team lead and ETL know how to find out how many INFs each team member has. Over 100? Damn. If I pick all day, usually I'll have around 5-10 INFs.
