Yesterday I taught you how anyone can make money at poker unless you're bad at game selection. today I am going to teach you how to rack eggs like a professional as a dairy manager.
How to rack eggs
Part one
eggcellent(get it?) delivery.
Often times people at the warehouse will put the egg boxes on the bottom of pallets. You can't let them do this. The first step is to contact the warehouse and inform them that their stockers put the egg boxes on the bottom of the pallet. Ideally eggs would be put on their own separate pllet but in the real world of delivery sometimes that can't happen especially since there only so much room on an 18 wheeler.Tell them that if the eggs are on the bottom of the pallet again that you will not accept any of the order. Hopefully you dont have to follow through with this threat because then 15 people get mad but if you have to you have to.
Part two
stacking
Your egg boxes need to be on milk crates. they need to be rotated by date. They need to be stacked by type. Don't have one of your employees do this until they've worked for a month or so because they will mess it up. it should look something like this:
Make sure the milk crates that you use are the same size and can be moved by hook so they are easily interchangeable. You need to take all the old boxes off the crates when the new order comes in so they can be easily rotated. dont try do it a different way thats fancy stocking syndrome.
Part 3
ordering
Keep your back stock insanely low on weekdays and make sure you have enough (slightly large on weekdays). Get a historic movement for holidays. Account for snow days and increase your order by 50% and 100% on your best sellers
With this in mind you can rack eggs like a professional dairy manger.
