What mental image should be maintained during package selection?

• A. Maintain mental picture of space available in package wall
• B. Memorize weight of each package
• C. Predict delivery times
• D. Ignore the wall layout

Answer: (A)

During package selection you should keep a mental image of the space available on the package wall. This helps you quickly judge whether a new package will fit in the remaining area, so you can place it in a spot that maintains a stable, accessible stack and leaves room for upcoming items. By picturing how the wall space is filling up, you reduce rehandling, prevent crowding or misfits, and keep the workflow smooth.

Memorizing the weight of each package isn’t about choosing where to place it, and predicting delivery times relates to routes and schedules rather than packing order. Ignoring the wall layout would lead to poor stacking and safety issues, which is why maintaining the space image is the best approach.
