PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION
SUPPLY AND DELIVERING.
The second traject in the material flow is the one which moves from
the intern final productstock to the customer, on instigation of the component
delivery.
This section gives a periodic signal (daily) which goods have to be loaded
and transported. For this activity there is a list roulating with the notation
of articlenumber and amount by customer ('orderpicking'). The selected
goods are send with transportdocumentation and conditions of payment. These
kind of administration is called the connossement, and has three
functions:
-
DELIVERY-CONDITIONS - Some well known conditions are:
| FRANCO - Free delivery at the housedoor |
| EX WORKS - Private transport from factory or central magazine |
| FOB FOP - Free on board Free on plane, included the costs of loading |
-
CERTIFICATE OF RECEIVE - Gets returned with a signature of the customer
to component delivery. This certificate is without any notations as long
as the transport didn't give any complications. Therefore they call this
a 'clean bill of loading'.
-
PAYMENT-CONDITIONS - In some situations there must be paid direct as soon
as the goods are delivered, the so called rembours method. This
payment is cash, a chartal payment. Also paying by cheque or accepted cheque's
are well known methods. The Dutch Federation of Transport Organizations
(FENEX) has standardconditions as a document, and stationated by
the ARRONDISEMENTSRECHTBANK in 'sGravenhage at 1 sept 1983. This document
contains also the assurance conditions. When the loads are regular
sended in fixed amounts, there is most of the time a possibility to make
a yearcontract, a so called PAUSSCHALCONTRACT. When there is a lot of export
it is the best to take a declarationpolis.
In the next graphic model is the communication between component delivery
and deliverycontrol showed with red numbered connections.
First the delivery-order
(1) is send
to the FINAL-productstock for specification of the articles and amounts
by customer. These articles are send to component delivery, where they
get packed together with documentation(2).
This documentation is most of the time a copy of the FACTURE , which is
also deliverydocument. A copy gets returned, signed and well(4)
from
the customer or expediter, and passes the delivery on his way back
to DELIVERYCONTROL(3). In this way
there is a complete overview about deliveries, because the component deliveryCONTROL
is a part of the division SALES, who is placing an
intern paymentorder(5)
by the division ADMINISTRATION as soon as the delivery is accepted. Because
of the eventual different paymentconditions from different customers, there
is a possibility that there is a difference in routing of paymentdocumentation.
For instance when the delivery is under rembours, the cash must be handed
over to the component CASH, GIRO, BANK in the division administration.
In other situations the delivery-administration goes to the controlcomponent
SALEScontrol, which gives this component an overview from moment of incoming
order till final delivery.
