The Operations Co-Op will be responsible for learning the basic functions of multiple departments across the distribution center.  The process for facilitating this will be a rotational schedule in which the Co-Op will move from one area to another in a structured manner.  The Co-Op will work with Supervisors and Managers in the areas they are assigned to understand the basics of the department. 

At the completion of the rotational schedule, the Co-Op will have a high level understanding of the flow of product through the facility from Inbound, through the processing engines, to Outbound and the activities necessary to optimize that flow.
