There are two critical steps in any supply chain: loading and unloading of goods and products. First, consider loading: freight in the form of manufactured products and goods must be placed inside trailers or containers with great care. The maximum amount of product that can be loaded per unit must be accurately determined. To minimize risk of loss, each flat must be protectively wrapped then stacked securely to avoid damage.
Unloading is the critical process when goods that have traveled long distances arrive at a port. At the loading dock, any damages sustained during transit are revealed. It is vital to assess and document these damages, creating detailed reports for business owners and insurance claims. This task should be carried out by skilled professionals.
In the interest of reining in operating costs, many logistics companies requiring warehouse unloading services have resorted to multitasking their existing warehouse and even office staff as needed. This is not efficient, and dollars saved by not hiring qualified unloaders can easily be lost through longer unloading times due to an inexperienced hourly workforce.
