Make correct voucher entries in Tally for all conversion jobs and external branding assignments, and ensure completed converted goods are fully documented on return to stores.

Ensure the stores environment, production floor, and dispatch yard meet all housekeeping, health and safety, and physical organization standards at all times treating any deviation as a compliance failure requiring immediate correction. Reinforce a culture where standards are non-negotiable. No team member operates outside a defined procedure without prior written authorization from the Manager. Bin Card & Documentation Compliance Enforcement Enforce bin card discipline across the entire team through daily spot checks; every stock removal must be entered on the bin card on the same transaction, without exception. Conduct random documentation audits throughout the week, verifying that Delivery Notes, Sales Orders, sample records, and production logs are correctly completed, signed, and ready for filing.
