Load Building

Description The manufacturing and construction industry is characterized by a large variety of different items to be shipped together in different modes of transport. Make-To-Order and Make-To-Stock require efficient planning capabilities for the whole supply chain from vendor via production to customer. Pallet and load building can be used to minimize the need of repacking activities and offers opportunities to improve collaboration at a very early time for every member of the supply chain.
