Planning part shipments for industrial projects

Plan your transport

Agree with the project lead which items are needed together; this produces sensible shipment groups. For each group, state the readiness status and requested date. Purchasing keeps the link to the overall order, while shipping and the recipient work with the quantities actually assigned. If one part is delayed, we update only the affected group – the other shipments continue unchanged.

Forming the right shipment groups

A good group contains everything the recipient needs at the same time for one work step – not simply whatever happens to be finished. Example: base frame and fixing kit together, electronic assemblies later with the test setup. This avoids part deliveries that only end up in interim storage at the destination.

References across several shipments

Each part shipment gets its own reference pointing to the overall order, such as project number plus delivery 1/3. Receiving can assign every arrival, and purchasing can see at any time which items are still open.

What matters

Form groups according to actual project needs
Keep a separate packing list for each part shipment
Inform the recipient about outstanding items

Good to know

Plan your transport

When is a separate delivery useful for the project?

When the recipient can start a specific work step with the parts that arrive earlier. Have the project team confirm this benefit. In our quotation we show what each additional trip costs so you can weigh effort against time gained directly.

Transport solutions

01

Combining purchasing and engineering input in one transport enquiry

Purchasing knows the order and the date; engineering and shipping know the real condition of the goods. A transport enquiry that combines both leads to a firm quotation faster. We work with one lead contact on your side and direct follow-up questions to the person who can answer them.

02

Preparing collection release at the parts supplier

Ordered does not mean ready for collection. Before we load at the supplier, it must be clear which shipment has been released and who hands it over. We coordinate the collection directly with your supplier’s shipping department – based on a specific shipping reference rather than a commercial delivery promise.

03

Stating readiness for collection instead of the completion date

Finished in production does not mean ready for transport: final inspection, cleaning, documentation and packing often follow the last machining step. We schedule the collection for the day your shipment is actually packed and ready. So please give us that date – confirmed or explicitly provisional.
