February Monthly Theme - Bedding• The purpose of the Monthly Theme is to assist our Delivery teams in
gaining a better understanding of the products that they deliver. This also supports the expectations of our customers who want the delivery teams to be subject matter experts on the products they deliver.
• Suggested Vital Behaviors from the Predict model or Shiftstarter modules have been included.
• Recommendations for a Monthly Theme Presentation:
• LCMs should meet with MDO Mgrs in advance to review/discuss
• Provide products as visual aids
• Print out copies of the slide deck and supporting materials (such as product information) and post in the stand up area for teams to review after your presentation.
• Use this time to promote improving the customer experience.

11February 2012 Monthly Theme
Bedding Handling• Bedding is never to be dragged, it should be hand carried.• Inspect bedding packaging to ensure it is not torn or worn to
the point that it does not adequately protect the merchandise.
• Ensure bedding is stood on end where the packaging has the thickest gauge plastic “booting” which is typically colored blue or green.
• Load bedding to ensure it is stable during transportation – use dunnage or tie bedding in place with twine. Place a corrugated “damage barrier” between bedding and the trailer door or sides if bedding contacts the trailer sides / door.
• Bedding items larger than twin size requires a team of 2 to properly handle.

Bedding Concern
• Customers sometimes order ½ of a split box queen or king foundation not realizing that a quantity of 2 is required.
• If this is discovered during loadout, let your manager know and they can determine what steps to take next.
• Contacting the customer may be required to verify if they wanted 1 or 2 parts of the 2 part box set.
