Introduction: Analysing your existing supply chain warehouse operative abilities
We will use this Skills Analysis to help shape your planned programme and identify areas where we can offer additional support or apply an amended programme. Where you have pre-existing skills we will stretch and challenge to further develop your abilities with the overall objective of completing the programme at a distinction level.

Warehouse Operatives work in a variety of warehouse environments. Work activities include taking deliveries, checking for damaged/missing items, storing goods, moving stock by various methods, picking/packing orders, loading goods for dispatch, maintaining stock records and documentation, and cleaning. They are required to safely use a range of equipment, machinery and vehicles, as relevant to their role and setting. This could include mechanical racking systems, materials handling equipment (MHE) or fork lift trucks.
Warehouse Operatives communicate with a wide range of people and customers. They have a passion to meet customers’ expectations by providing a quality service that encourages repeat business. Individuals in this role are highly competent in using industry-recognised systems and associated services (eg Traffic/Warehouse Management Systems) and will be able to work under pressure to tight deadlines. A Warehouse Operative will often be required to be flexible and work shifts including 4-on-4- off, days, nights, evenings and weekends.
If you do not think your job role or the role you will have when you start the programme is in line with the description above, at the end of the skills analysis you can select that you do not think the programme suits your role. It is still worthwhile answering the questions as it may help us identify future learning opportunities.
