The Base Logistics Material Control Division (MCD) manages material support services including material order processing, identification, inspection, warehousing, distribution, shipping, packaging, and disposal to MARLANT and its Integral and Lodger Units. One of the division’s facilities, the D206 Main Warehouse, has five main sections: Packaging and Crating, Issues, Forward Delivery, Return Stores, and Receipts.
The warehouse’s Packaging and Crating section ensures Canadian Forces Supply System (CFSS) materials are packaged and crated with the respective level of protection necessary to prevent any damage during the distribution process. The section has a new EZ Box, Automated Box maker that provides its employees the ability to make cardboard boxes to the exact size required resulting in efficient and effective packaging.
After a ship or unit orders materiel items, the warehouse technicians pull the items from warehouse storage and places them in the issues section. The warehouse’s Issues section will then issue the items to the units requesting them. Once issued the items will either go to forward delivery or be held in the Fleet Issue Centre until a Material Management Technician (storesperson) from the unit can come pick it up.
The warehouse’s Forward Delivery Team facilitates transportation of all the local material that needs movement, either to the unit designated or to one of the external warehouses. They do daily shipping runs between Stadacona, Shearwater, Willow Park, Repair and Disposal, and mail runs. Not only do they deliver but they will also pick up items for the warehouse.
The warehouse’s Return Stores section accepts serviceable and non-serviceable CFSS assets being returned from both ships and Supply Customer Accounts.
Finally, the Receipts Section receipts materiel item into DRMIS, bins them away and places the items where another warehouse technician can place them in their assigned/designated storage areas. The Receipts Section team also receipts new items from government contracts, ensures technical inspectors do a quality check on all items, and either places them in storage or issues them to a unit requiring those items.
