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

Air Freight rates are usually handled per Pound, Kilo (based on Chargeable weight), Piece, Pallet, or Container. Tiered rates change based on weight breaks – so the same quote can have a different rate based on the size of the shipment.

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.
