Missing Carton




Imaging you have so many items coming in to you and before you realise it, the lorry (linehaul truck) is gone. And you start to sort out your inbound consignment. It is not easy to spot any missing consignment until you prepare runsheet and compared it with the in coming manifest.
How to speed up a quick check? Mark it properly on the cartons themselves with BIG marking like 1/2, 2/2 CN XXXXXXX or 1/8,2/8 ,3/8,4/8,5/8,6/8,7/8,8/8 CN number on the boxes. You will notice a missing carton if 3/8 with CN XXX XXX is missing.
How to track on missing carton?
Check the store at hup centre, check the various stop-over stations, check the van drivers that picked up the consignments from the hup centre etc. Easiest method is a email with detail particular to all network stations.
All network stations must learn to inform the sending station when any extra carton is found in their station, and immediately arrange for a transit the same night linehaul. Good networking, good team work will solve all such missing carton.
