Goods are usually arranged in a particular order. Sometimes, they are organized according to physical characteristics. After they are sorted, items are packed into boxes. Styrofoam and plastic are commonly used as insulation. Once products are in boxes, they are shipped. Warehouse workers load the boxes onto outgoing trucks. Before loading trucks, please measure available space. Also, handle items with caution. It is very important that packages get delivered on time. Customers judge logistics based on their reliability. However, flexibility is also important. Delivery workers sometimes adjust their schedules to suit customers' needs. There are four aspects of quality control in distribution logistics. They are as follows: Order fulfillment ensures reception of the right items in proper quantities. Delivery fulfillment ensures timely delivery to the right locations. Quality fulfillment ensures that delivered goods have no damage. Cost fulfillment keeps delivery prices competitive.
