Shipping Procedure

1.  Material handler receives a loading order.

2.     Loading order is verified with FIT system planning board to determine if all material is in finished goods or if order has a balance that is being produced.

3.     Once material is determined to be in finished goods and ready to ship, material handler locates the finished goods in the warehouse.

4.     When a truck arrives for pick-up of the loading order, and material is ready to be placed on the truck, the material handler locates the inventory tag and removes the perforated bar code portion of the inventory tag. This should not be done until the material is on the truck.

5.     Once all material is loaded on the truck, and perforated bar code portion of the inventory tag has been removed from each tag, the load is verified by the 2nd material handler or management and loading order is signed confirming verification.  Any additional customer specific requirements should be reviewed in the verification process.

6.     Stelplan "Load Match Function" is used to create the Bill of Lading. Bar codes are scanned from removed tags or manually typed into the load match function. Once load match is confirmed, the final Bill of Lading can be printed and signed by the material handler. 

7.     Driver must sign the completed Bill of Lading and is given copies and a copy is retained by shipping personnel.
