Airway bill is issued by air carrier of goods on receipt of goods after completion of export customs formalities of the country.

Shipper obtains airway bill once after handing over cargo to them. Since the cargo reaches by air and transit time is too less compared to sea shipment, a set of airway bill is sent along with the cargo for immediate reference on transit and for import customs clearance at destination port by importer. Once after completion of customs formalities at load port customs location, cargo transfer manifest (CTM) issued by IATA agent along with airway bill and other required documents for transportation submits to air carriers. Original airway bills are issued in quintuplicate which is meant for carrier, importer, shipper and additional copies.

Once after arrival of cargo at destination, the importer or his cargo agent approaches the destination office of air carrier and collect airway bill and other required documents sent by shipper along with cargo for necessary documentation for import customs clearance procedures and other references. Importer may also collect copies of documents by courier or mail from shipper before arrival of goods. The shipper also can arrange to send airway bill and other documents through his bank to meet LC requirements or he desires.

The key differences between MAWB and HAWB are;

MAWB is Master airway bill issued by main carrier of goods on receipt of goods from a freight forwarder to deliver at destination as per agreed terms. HAWB means House airway bill issued by a freight forwarder on receipt of goods from shipper agreeing to deliver goods at destination.
The bill issued by the cargo agent on behalf of the carrier or by the airline itself is called the Master Airway Bill. HAWB can also be issued by a freight agent.
MAWB is non-negotiable, and it provides for transport of goods or consignment from one airport to another. The HAWB serves as the receipt for the goods or the shipment and also as an evidence of a contract between the airfreight agent and the customer.

Palletization is one of the most important packaging requirements for shipping. Pallets are portable platforms used to package items for freight or container shipping; they are a small square of either wood or plastic that can hold multiple boxes or other pieces of freight to make it easier for loading and unloading cargo. Warehouse workers can use machines like forklifts and pallet jacks to move cargo instead of moving it one case at a time.. In 2017, the global pallet industry grew to $3 billion, and that figure is forecast to reach $4 billion by 2023.

How important are pallets?

1. Product safety:

A well maintained pallet will allow you to rest easy knowing that cargo will not be damaged at all. By storing and transporting your products on pallets, they are able to be kept off the ground which reduces the risk of damage from water, dirt and debris. When boxes are shipped separately, they are often tossed without much consideration for their contents. It is also much easier to lose one or more packages when they are floating around in different areas of the cargo hold. A palletized shipment keeps all packages in one convenient location. They are securely fastened together as a large bundle, so none of them are roughly handled or allowed to fall from an improperly stacked pile.

2. Makes loading and unloading simpler:

When it comes to loading, unloading and retrieving the shipment, all of the packages are in one convenient location and are easily loaded and unloaded from the ship or plane. There is no hunting or trying to track down a missing package. Palletizing a shipment offers savings when it comes to the financial aspect of shipping your product and also saves time and man-hours when loading and unloading. Floor loaded freight is much more difficult and time-consuming to move without specialized equipment. Most palletized goods can be easily handled by any warehouse with standard pallet-handling equipment like forklifts and pallet jacks. If your goods aren’t stored on pallets, you’re taking away some of the most important tools that many warehouses use to handle freight.

3. Storage considerations:

Many innovations in storage have been possible because of pallets. Forklift operators can place pallets on high shelves, opening up numerous vertical organization possibilities. Warehouses can store product two, three or more shelves high with just a simple slotting-in process. Without pallets, you’ll use up many labor hours just depositing and removing your product from high shelves—if you can use a vertical strategy at all.

4. Space maximization:

Pallets increase the effectiveness of stacking, making arrangement of goods extremely efficient. However, this may not apply for goods that are fragile. And it is always important to choose the right pallet size.

No matter what kind of business you have, or what your product is, palletizing will result in greater efficiency in more ways than one. Pallets are a wonderful tool, but hardly the most important. They aren’t even standard sizes half the time. They are, however, meaningful in that they allow companies to ship in larger quantities at a faster pace so they are to be commended. Pallets, like many other items that have been invented to make life easier in the shipping industry, will always be considered a great tool of the trade.

The importance of logistics during construction projects cannot be over emphasized . In fact, the success of any construction largely depends on the effectiveness of its logistics plan and its execution to the latter. Effective logistics planning is quite important on construction sites since it can offer a lot of benefits in terms of productivity and efficiency.

Logistics have become the heart of construction projects as well as supply chains due to the ever-increasing popularity of global trade. Due to this, business leaders were able to realize that they can reduce their overall costs by partnering with other businesses that offer logistics services.

When construction companies use logistics services for transporting and warehousing, they will be able to improve their overall business efficiency on a significant scale. By letting their partners manage the shipment of materials, they can enjoy faster delivery as well as a better reputation among their customers. Good planning is important to keep a construction site well-maintained and productive. Therefore, the contractor should come up with a timeline for each phase of the project in advance. The plan should include the equipment, inventory of materials, and the tools which are required for each phase of the project.

Having a timeline of project stages planned in advance, with a full inventory of materials and tools required, is a key part of logistics management. Due to the complexity of the process, and the interaction of many supply streams, dedicated simulation software can be used to model, analyze, visualize and optimize logistics.

An essential part of logistical preparation for a construction project is in choosing the most capable and reliable partners to provide the source materials. They need to be thinking along the same wavelength and be capable of following instructions accurately as there’s more to this role than loading a truck with the days/weeks’ worth of supplies. The best logistical planners will request that the truck is loaded in a precise order so that the most needed materials are the first to be unloaded, allowing the rest of the construction team to press on with work.

It should be clear that effective logistical planning can make the difference between a project being completed early and under budget – or the very opposite. Having an effective system in place to manage every component of the site is essential to cut costs while maintaining productivity.

An effective logistics system must;

cut the number of suppliers. This will be effective by developing long-term relationships with a small number of trusted suppliers with whom they share design and production information and make continuous improvements
reduce vehicle movements onto the site
minimize the materials stored on site
track goods, materials, equipment and people
plan how resources will be used and allocated
Waste elimination is also a critical part of effective construction logistics. These can be achieved by;

reducing the number of transactions and exploiting economies of scale
minimizing congestion and queuing
saving losses due to damage, theft or simply being mislaid
utilizing resources efficiently, without duplication
ensuring that all needs are met at the right time and place
Most customers demand better service and faster turnaround time for their construction projects. As such, construction companies are compelled to look for shippers that can deliver accurate, fast, and quality service. With proper logistics, construction companies can improve customer satisfaction which in turn can help increase their reputation. The smoother the logistic processes are within a construction project, the more value the construction company can offer to its clients. Ultimately, this translates to overall positive customer experience.

Manufacturing companies spend a great deal of time looking for ways to beat their competition in new and innovative ways, whether it is through new manufacturing processes, better products or improved supply chain management. Manufacturing industry supply chain management can be difficult as you try to keep costs low and deliver goods and services to the customer in a timely manner. Fortunately, third-party logistics (3PL) providers offer many services that will improve a manufacturers’ supply chain.. Smart manufacturing companies look for ways to bring out the best in their operations. Below are key ways to achieve that objective;

1. Outsource your logistics:

Partnering with a 3PL to take care of your supply chain needs can lift weight off your shoulders. Choosing to outsource tasks will benefit your company in the long run. With the help of a 3PL, you’ll be able to focus more on getting your product on shelves rather than the logistic components. Customers tend to get frustrated when the product they want is out of stock. To help with this scarcity problem, a 3PL works diligently to procure your goods quickly. Your products will be cared for like they are our own and will be transported as smoothly as possible.

Delivering freight for the manufacturing industry requires strong communication. A 3PL will keep in contact with you throughout your freight’s journey to its destination and even after its been delivered. They also maintain strong communication with the carrier to ensure your freight is delivered carefully. Partnering with a 3PL means there is no need for your company to own a warehouse or transport facilities.

They can provide warehousing requirements so that your company doesn’t have to invest in your own physical location. When outsourcing your warehousing, it gives you the opportunity to have goods stored closer to your customer, reducing the time and distance it takes to keep them stocked with your products.

2. Business Scalability:

A benefit of using a 3PL provider is the ability to scale space, labor, and transportation according to inventory needs.

Using a 3PL provider allows your business to grow into new regions without barriers. Furthermore, as you grow, a 3PL provider can help you scale as they have the resources to seamlessly support growth into new markets.

3PL providers have the resources at hand to make adjustments and improvements to each link in the supply chain. 3PL professionals will ensure your needs are met, by using the fastest, most efficient, and cost effective methods. A 3PL provider has the tools to restructure the supply chain, and use technology that ensures the proper amount of goods arrive when and where you need them. Sophisticated management software can analyze and monitor practices to eliminate inefficiencies and streamline the supply chain. Outsourcing 3PL services will ensure continuous improvements are made to your logistics process.

3. Operating Cost considerations:

Retailers have a different view on shipping costs than manufacturers. Retailers see the cost of shipping as items are sent to them. However, manufacturers focus more on the cost of shipping items out to vendors. A 3PL logistics company assists with bills-of-lading and freight scheduling to reduce the costs of shipping products to your vendors. In addition to reduced shipping costs, by outsourcing to a 3PL logistics partner, you can eliminate payroll, benefit and liability costs that are necessary with in-house staff. There is also no cost for fleet maintenance, insurance or equipment upgrades, which are common expenses found when working with logistics in the manufacturing industry.

4. Maximization of time and capital:

Outsourcing your logistics services can free-up a wealth of money and time for your business. A 3PL company can help eliminate the need to invest in transportation, warehouse space, technology, and staff to execute essential supply chain management processes. 3PL companies can also help minimize costly mistakes while allowing your business to develop a stronger logistical network with higher returns and lower risks. In addition, 3PLs save your company the time and capital required execute essential steps in the supply chain. Billing, auditing, training, staffing, optimizing and improving your supply chain functions is all take care of.

5. Effective customer management :

Manufacturer logistics practices are all about getting products to customers in a timely manner. A third-party logistics provider best works with manufacturers to manage supply chains and move inventory to customers quicker and at less cost. Manufacturers will also have more accountability outsourcing to a 3PL partner as well. A good logistics company will take responsibility for caring for your customers and your products as if they are their own, meeting you own high performance standards.
