Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa Medipost Full time

A Packer position exists at Medipost Pharmacy in Pretoria, Gezina.

Stats

The required stat that must be achieved by a packer on a daily basis or during a shift is 90.

Packaging Operations

Taking tote boxes from the conveyer:

  • Tote boxes will be transported from the QA line via the conveyer after it was checked and placed on the conveyer by the QA Pharmacist.

Line regulator will collect the work from the conveyer and will distribute according to priority.

Only one tote box will be processed/ packed at a time always starting with the highest priority as indicated via the colours on the tote box. Refer to PRO 01-001 Processes in Production Area.

  • Items that do not need to be stored or transported between 2 - 8 degrees Celsius will be packed in a cardboard box.

The number of items will determine the box size. Only the 1/2E will be packed into the appropriate courier flyer.

All other parcel groups, fridge line and parcels not placed in a flyer, will be strapped.

Empty the contents of the tote box onto the workstation so that camera footage (camera above the packer station) can be recorded.

  • It is the responsibility of the Packer to ensure that the camera will have visibility of all items being packed and to record every step of the packing process.
  • There may not be any obstruction that could lead to loss of visibility or non-recording of the process.
  • The Packer must ensure that the patient's name on the paperwork corresponds with the name on all the medicine items.

A tote box will contain the medication items, delivery note, and a QA label. Make sure that the patient name on the paperwork corresponds with the name on the medication labels.

The Packer must always check if there is a WIP note and read it to see if it is relevant to the Packer. The Packers must also execute any instruction on the WIP note that is applicable to them.

The delivery method is identified on the bar-coded delivery label stapled onto the paperwork. This will indicate the specific courier's flyer bag that needs to be selected where needed.

QA label indicates the number of items in the tote box. Compare the actual number of items in the tote box against the quantity stated on the QA label to make sure that all items are packed. It is the responsibility of the Packer to count items in the tote box and compare it with the number indicated on the top right-hand side of the bar-coded delivery label to ensure all medication is packed. The Packer must write the item count quantity on the delivery note that came with the parcel.

Pack items and delivery note neatly into a cardboard box of appropriate size.

A pre-paid envelope must also be included that patients will use to send back their prescriptions to Medipost.

All glass bottles must be wrapped in bubble wrap before they are packed into the box.

Properly seal the box with cello tape, if needed. The QA label goes halfway over the top and halfway over the side as seen in the screenshot underneath. If this label is broken it will indicate that someone tampered with the parcel.

  • After the box is sealed the Packer will write their individual Packer code on the Bar Code Label and then scan the Barcode with the handheld scanner.

Insert smaller boxes into the designated courier's flyer where required and seal the flyer.

Boxes for Medilogistics and PJV courier are not inserted in flyers.

If a priority parcel in a blue box is packed the Packer must ensure the relevant "Priority stickers" are applied on 2 sides of the box to be visible to the courier.

Place the empty tote box on the conveyer to be transported to the empty Tote Holding area.

After this is done, the parcel will be placed onto the conveyer and it will move to the 'strapper' station. After it has been strapped it will be dispatched.

Fridge Line Parcels

  • All items marked with a "fridge line" sticker will be packed in a fridge line box for the cold chain to be maintained between 2 – 8 degrees Celsius.

A Fridge line parcel is identified by the white strip on the tote box; these boxes must be packed first.

The Packer must select the tote box from the conveyer or the allocated holding bay.

The Packer will identify the Fridge line item by the red fridge line sticker attached to the item.

Wrap the Fridge line item in bubble wrap.

The Packer must check the integrity of the ice packs and then place ice packs on each side of the wrapped Fridge line item.

Medilogistics Fridge line parcels are packed in a flyer, not a Fridge line box.

Add all other items and the paperwork to the box or flyer as well as the pre-paid envelope.

Packed boxes are placed on the conveyer to be strapped and dispatched.

Fridge line items will be wrapped once, with bubble wrap. Two iced gel packs will be added on both sides of the item and be wrapped once more with bubble wrap. This will then be placed inside the polyurethane box. The other ambient items will be placed on top or on the side of the box depending on the box in use at that moment.

Important to note that a Fridge line item may never be in direct contact with the gel packs as in point 3.2 above.

Fridge parcels must be closed and secured with cello tape and placed onto the conveyer.

Double Dispensing

From time to time the company will do a double dispensing, where there will be a two months' supply of medication sent to a patient with one delivery.

The QA Pharmacist will put a yellow or pink sticker on the first month's items for easy identification.

It is important that it must be indicated to the patient which items are for which month. This is done by dividing the medication items into month one and month two, as indicated by the QA Pharmacist. Month one and month two are then placed into separate bags. The packer will then attach a 'Month 1' or 'Month 2' sticker onto the two bags.

Both month one and month two bags will be placed into a cardboard box with an orange sticker stuck onto the lid of the box. When the box is opened it will be the first thing the patient sees and there will be a clear indication that the contents of the box are a two months' supply of medication and sealed as per point 2.

Following SOPs

Enforce compliance to SOPs specific to the post.

Additional SOP' compliance SOP 21-001-004 Opening production and conveyor operating procedures.

Housekeeping

Housekeeping plays a major role in ensuring that all operational functions stay operational. You have the responsibility to ensure:

  • That your area of responsibility is neat and tidy.
  • All OHS related matters like loose cables or anything that can cause harm to a person or the company is reported immediately.
  • All tote boxes found on the floor must be picked up and placed in the designated area.
