Delivery planning
Four controls from finished goods to receipt
Delivery plan
Confirm address, time window, unloading responsibility, split quantities, documents and proof-of-delivery requirement.
Version identity
Use unique file names, revision dates, SKU codes and approval status so obsolete artwork cannot return to production.
Packing method
Define units per bundle and carton, orientation, separators, moisture protection, carton strength and identification labels.
Critical path
Separate artwork, material purchase, tooling, sampling, approval, production, inspection and delivery dates with named owners.
Execution method
Four actions from RFQ to production
Build the carton plan first
Calculate units, protection, gross weight and labels before booking transport.
Match the receiving rules
Confirm time windows, vehicle restrictions, unloading and document requirements.
Protect traceability
Keep SKU, lot, carton count and split-delivery identity visible through receipt.
Review actual consumption
Use received quantity, damage, inventory and usage data to improve the next plan.
FAQ
Questions buyers often ask
How should split delivery of packaging be managed?
Define quantity by SKU and date, lot identity, storage ownership, release documents, transport cost and what happens when schedules change.
What should be written in the specification?
At minimum, define Delivery plan, Version identity, Packing method, Critical path, then link quantity, sample, timing, inspection and the approved revision.
Is a physical sample needed?
A decision involving structure, material, colour, finish, assembly or use performance normally needs a physical sample matched to that question; a screen proof cannot approve everything.
Can the previous standard be reused for a repeat order?
Reuse a controlled standard only when files, material, structure, supply chain and use conditions remain unchanged. Record every change and decide whether resampling or reapproval is required.
