[edit] Intro
The goal of this article is to describe various workflows (business processes) related to NATP project and related required user interactions with CT2 (use cases).
[edit] Transportation options
[edit] Ship direct from origin to destination
Truck gets loaded fully or nearly fully at origin and without stops brings cargo to destination.
[edit] One destination and milk run at origin
Truck gets loaded partially at origin and makes several stops on the way (not too far from origin) adding more cargo until full or nearly full and then goes to destination.
[edit] One origin and milk run at destination
[edit] Ship via Distribution Center
[edit] Hub and spoke model
[edit] Other options
[edit] Milk runs at origin and destination
[edit] Multiple pick ups and drop offs
[edit] Cross-docking

[edit] Transportation Examples
[edit] Summary
Let's look at the typical example - what might happen.
It is estimated that on an average day about 30 NATP "shipping orders" would come in.
Each order has an info on:
- what to ship (PO, SKU, PCS, Gross weight, etc)
- shipping from info (address)
- shipping to info (address)
In general, for every order CT record would be created.
This order will be forwarded to selected trucking company.
Trucking company handles the order and sends back PODs.
Operator also would:
- generate reports (for example In Transit)
- do billing
[edit] Six Shipments Example
This is a typical example that we are looking at in details.
[edit] Day 1
Assume for simplicity sake that only 6 orders came in that day.
CT 1,2,3,4,5,6 were created.
See #Figure 1.
As you can see CT 1,2,3 are to be picked up at Rexam and CT 4,5,6 at Risdon.
If you observe orders further you will see that 6 CT's share only 3 delivery locations: {CEI Holmdel, EA Roanoke and Bentley}
In this case 2 trucks were used to pick up these 6 CTs. They all delivered to Consol Warehouse.
[edit] Day 2
Truck Loads PT# 1 and 2 were unloaded.
[edit] Day 3
Truck Loads DT# 3,4,5 and 2 were loaded onto 3 Trucks. Each truck is designated to one of 3 locations.
[edit] Day 4
Trucks deliver goods from Consol Warehouse to destinations.
[edit] Transportation Alternatives
Note: more info on this will be published here: TMS features (NATP)
- Is it possible that truck would take additional trips to pick up additional non-Jaguar cargo?
- Yes?
- Theoretically it is possible for one truck to pick up from multiple locations before delivering to warehouse
- Are we going to have this case in NATP?
- Theoretically it is possible for one truck deliver to multiple locations (goods from warehouse)
- Are we going to have this case in NATP?
- Theoretically it is possible for one truck to pick up and deliver bypassing warehouse (single pick up and/or delivery)
- Are we going to have this case in NATP?
- Theoretically it is possible for one truck to pick up and deliver bypassing warehouse (multiple pick up and/or delivery)
- Are we going to have this case in NATP?
[edit] Reporting
[edit] Documentation
[edit] Billing
Different billing models are possible. We describe only one here.
[edit] Purchase
As in ATP Jaguar will generate Trucking Billing Manifest for each individual trucking company.
Charges from trucking vendors will come next day
[edit] Sales
All NATP shipments have one Client EO.
Create one Sales invoice per group of CTs booked/created on day X.
In #Six Shipments Example this group would consist of CT 1,2,3,4,5,6.
As in Business Process for Arden Trucking Domestic sales invoice will consists of:
- Trucking Billing Manifest - detailed charges per CT; it is based on vendor charges (pick up and delivery)
- Pdf invoice with a sum of all charges for a group (could be actually 2 numbers representing various charge codes)
Additional invoice is possible covering special charges.
