Comparing part shipments and a combined delivery commercially

Plan your transport

Have the project lead confirm which work could start earlier thanks to the part shipment. Each scenario gets its own name and a complete data basis with packages, readiness and requested date. Also take into account the internal effort for two goods receipts and who looks after the remaining items until the second release.

What belongs in the comparison

On the cost side are the additional trip, a second loading and unloading and the internal effort for two goods receipts. On the benefit side is the time the project gains through the early part quantity, such as an earlier assembly start or brought-forward testing. Only both together result in a commercial decision.

Keeping scenarios clearly separate

Scenario 1: everything together once the last item is finished. Scenario 2: part quantity immediately, the rest later. Each scenario needs complete package data and dates. In our response we show what is included for each scenario, so you are not comparing two differently described services.

What matters

• Create scenarios with their own scope and name
• Have the project confirm the benefit of the early part quantity
• Include the internal effort for two goods receipts
