Shipping the wrong parts to the wrong customer is an expensive error. The hard and soft costs can be significant.
Hard costs:
- Inspection Example
- Product replacement costs
- Labour costs
- Freight costs
- Scrap costs
- Customer Penalties
Soft costs:
- Your supplier rating could suffer significantly
- Possible loss in future business if your customer loses confidence in your company
- Could generate a hold on all future shipments until your company has a process in place to guard against these shipping errors occurring again
A shipping inspection system will ensure that the right shipment goes to the right customer. This application addresses that the right shipping label is applied to the right container.
