Business Analysis and Requirements
To be written by BA. This section should cover Needs, Requirements, Background and Design Ideas. Also could include Glossary, existing business workflow, cases, etc
Glossary
Weight Break is the point at which the weight or chargeable weight of a shipment is large enough to be assessed the lower freight rates which are applicable to larger shipments, this is as per the carrier's tariff.
Chargeable Weight of cargo intended for air shipment is the actual gross weight (gw) or the volume weight (vw), whichever is greater.
Actual Gross Weight or GW is the actual weight of the shipment
Volume Weight or VW is calculated based on a cargo's size, measurement or dimensions
Minimum or Min is the lowest amount that can be charged for the service.
Maximum or Max is the highest amount that can be charged for the service.
Flat Fee is a single fixed fee for a service
Unit load device or ULD is a pallet or container used to load freight on an aircraft. It allows a large quantity of cargo to be bundled into a single unit.
- ULD pallets are rugged sheets of aluminum with rims designed to lock onto cargo net lugs
- ULD containers, also known as cans and pods, are closed containers, which, depending on the nature of the goods to be transported, may have built-in refrigeration units
Drum is a cylindrical container used for shipping bulk cargo (a liquid or as a mass of relatively small solids like grains). Drums can be made of steel, dense paperboard (commonly called a fiber drum), or plastics, and are generally used for the transportation of certain dangerous materials or modest quantities of bulk goods.
Known Shipper A shipper that is qualified by specific regulations as a known shipper. A known shipper has less restrictions for shipping and as a result will usually have lower rates.
Unknown Shipper A shipper that has not yet been qualified according to the Transportation Security Administrations regulations as a known shipper. An Unknown shipper's cargo has more restrictions when shipping and therefore may have to pay higher rates to ship cargo.
Hazardous Freight is freight that is capable of posing risk to people, health, property, or environment when transported in quantity. AKA dangerous goods
