Work is arranged by what truck is being processed, we attempt to follow FIFO as much as possible. Queues are determined, to the best of my knowledge, by which area of the FC has the most space (but they probably do it arbitrarily, I'm not in charge of any of that, so I don't really know their method). When a truck is being received, all cartons will be placed inside totes (or "juice carts") and sent up to the queues (there's usually only a couple queues that are "dropping" totes). Stowers are advised to take the totes, which are placed on u-boats, by using the FIFO method. Stowers are not given specific sets of items to stow; they only stow what's given to them.Pallet land is the part of the FC for products we carry in large quantities (i.e. enough to fill a pallet, quarter pallet, or half pallet). Pallet land is just a nickname we give part of the pallet area. We also have a 3-story rack area full of pallets (at my FC). Some items we have on pallets include some Starbucks, Sonicare, and Darth Vader costumes (omg we have so many).
