ShippingShipping consists of order verification and transportation equipment loading. As in receiving, firm may use conveyors or unit load materials handling equipment such as lift trucks to move products from the staging area into the truck trailer or container. In comparison to receiving, warehouse shipping must accommodate relatively low-volume movements of a mixture of products, thus reducing the potential for economies of scale. Shipping unit loads is becoming increasingly popular because considerable time can be saved in vehicle loading. A unit load consists of unitized or palletized product. To facilitate this loading and subsequent unloading upon delivery, many customers are requesting that suppliers provide mixed combinations of product within a trailer or on a pallet. The alternative is to floor-stack cases in the transportation vehicle. Shipment content verification is typically required when product changes ownership. Verification may be limited to a simple carton count or a piece-by-piece check for proper brand, size, and in some cases serial number to assure shipment accuracy. Over-the-road trailers are typically sealed at the time they are fully loaded and ready for shipment. The seal serves to verify that the content has not been altered during transit. Certification that seals have not been tampered with has become a critical factor in post 9-11 security.
