Logistics planners need to ensure that vehicles are loaded correctly. The following factors are considered when planning vehicle loading:
- Load stability and weight distribution
- Efficient vehicle fill (or cubing)
- Order of products on multi-drops
- Load weight
- Load height
- Temperature control (if appropriate)
- Bulkheads (if appropriate)
- Contamination between products
- Reverse Distribution
- Equipment required for unloading or reloading
Health and Safety
There is an overriding necessity to ensure that health and safety is not compromised when planning vehicle loading.
