This Logistics Glossary Post is going to focusing on order fulfillment in the supply chain. In the logistics industry, we look at order fulfillment as a way to de-couple the supply chain and is especially important for companies that either offer product customization and/or have a variety of different products to offer. Looking at order fulfillment to minimize the amount of steps take along the supply chain and mitigate the impact of variety both on cost and time to produce.
Order Fulfillment
Hal Mather published a book called Competitive Manufacturing and pioneered the research behind order fulfillment. He was also responsible for defining the order fulfillment strategies that we are defining below:
Engineer-to-Order (ETO)
Definition: Engineer-to-Order refers to products that are designed and built to customer specifications. For example if I wanted a custom car built from scratch, a company that specializes in that service would have an engineer-to-order car. Companies that use this approach usually large construction projects or companies that offer one-off products such as the example above.
Build-to-Order (BTO)
Definition: Build-to-Order, also known as Make-to-Order (MTO), refers to products that have a standardized built. This means that the basic build of the product is the same throughout, but the production of components and the manufacturing of the final product is linked to the order placed by the final customer’s specifications. This is usually seen in the automotive industry, where customers can customize certain aspects of the car model that they have chosen to purchase (i.e. colour, type of interior, etc.).
Assemble-to-Order (ATO)
Definition: Assemble-to-Order products are built to customer specifications based on a list of items (i.e. a stock of existing components). This means that the base product itself has the type of architecture to allow the final product to be configured in such a way that the components can fit. The most common place this is seen is in electronics like laptops where you have the option to choose your hard drive space, the amount of memory, the type of graphics card, etc.).
Make-to-Stock (MTS)
Definition: Make-to-Stock, also known as Build-to-Forecast (BTF), is a production strategy that is most commonly seen in grocery stores and retail. The product is manufactured as is with no customization and its production is built against a sales forecast.
Digital Copy (DC)
Definition: Digital Copies are as they sound, the products are digital assets and inventory is maintained within a single digital master (i.e. source). Copies are created based on the demand and customers can download and save products on their storage devices. A common example is an e-book, where a digital copy is bought and downloaded onto an e-book reader for consumers to use.

Have you ever wondered how flowers arrive at your doorstep? Flowers are an iconic symbol and even something as simple as a rose can have several different meanings behind the gesture of giving someone on. For example, whether or not you give one or a bouquet, and even the colour(s) you pick matters. Flowers can even be part of a grand gesture, like the Canadian Tulip Festival where the Dutch government sends 20,000 tulips to Canada every year (10,000 from the Royal Family and 10,000 from the Dutch Bulb Growers Association) due to Canada-Netherlands relations in WWII. Since Mother’s Day is this weekend (at least for Canada and the United States) we thought we would focus on the logistics of flowers, both in how flowers arrive to the flower shops these days as well as how flowers arrive at your doorstep.
Rising Freight Costs and Flower Shop Woes
Have you ever wondered where these florists get their flowers? Well, they’re not just grown in the back! In fact, even though traditionally flowers have come from local sources within the community (i.e. nearby flower farms), these days they can come from anywhere. In an interview with Jim McCann – the owner of 1-800-flowers.com – on Bloomberg, he mentions that 80% of the flowers in the West come from Colombia now because of a free-trade agreement that allowed thousands of different Columbian products, flowers included, tariff-free entry into the American market. This in contrast to a couple of years ago when 75% of flowers were supplied locally/domestically.
The difficulty in flower logistics is that, while they are a beautiful gift, they are expensive and dead in a day. In fact, flower production in the US is going up because of rising freight costs. Many small businesses in general are affected. In Canada, for example, the cost of ground transportation has risen ~9.5% since February 2011. The preservation of flowers is actually much better these days due to improvements in the cold supply chain, with flower preservation doubling in just the past 5 years.
Getting Flowers to Your Doorstep
since the delivery conveniences of companies like Amazon, and the conceptualization and development of same-day delivery, consumers are all about the now. They want their products, and they want it ASAP (and it has to be cheap!). Flowers are no different, the biggest strategy that florists have when it comes to high-demand periods like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day is partnering with local florists to handle product orders.
And with that, we’d like to leave you with how much the flower industry is worth on Mother’s Day:

Our mission to provide little tidbits on the vast library of logistics terminology month by month continues! We love to educate those who are interested in logistics to know more in manageable chunks. This month’s Logistics Glossary Week post is on food logistics. What kind of terminology along the supply chain are used when transporting goods? This post on food logistics terminology is going to focus on regulating edible perishable goods.
Food Logistics – Part I
One of the main challenges for companies that have to deal with food transport is ensuring that the food coming from the origin stays fresh throughout its journey to its destination, no matter what the distance. On top of that, these perishable food items also have to arrive with enough time to be on store shelves and stay unspoiled for a particular amount of time to be bought and consumed by customers. Below are some terms that are commonly used in food logistics related to maintaining a level of standard (from origin and throughout the supply chain) for food once it hits the store shelves.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Definition: The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA serves to protect and promote public health of food safety, pharmaceutical drugs (both prescription and over-the counter), as well as various other consumable goods like tobacco products, medical and veterinary products and devices, etc.
Every country has their own set of rules and regulations (e.g. the Canadian Food Inspection Agency enforces Canadian Food and Drug Regulations) and it is important to consider these as a logistics company as some differences can alter how a product should be transported and handled. This is why when doing food-related cross-border logistics, it is important to be aware of these governing bodies and their regulatory requirements.
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
Definition: Standard Operating Procedure, or SOP, in the general sense is a detailed written set of instructions for a process that must be followed to ensure standardization and compliance.
In the world of food logistics, the SOP of food is based on the type of food product and the recommendations of the governing body that regulates its best practices. This is important as it is the responsibility of companies that offer food or perishable edible goods to be able to ensure a consistent and desired outcome for the end consumer.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
Definition: Hazard analysis and critical control points, or HACCP, is a food safety system based on the principles of identification, evaluation, and hazard control. It is more of a systematic preventative approach to food safety, as opposed to a finished product inspection.
Time and Temperature Control for Safety (TCS)
Definition: Time and temperature control for safety food items, or TCS foods, are as the term suggest; food that needs time and temperature control to prevent a product from becoming unsafe due to biological hazards.
Food that is normally regarded as TCS foods are those that are high in protein, are moist, or are moderately to slightly acidic. Some regulating bodies recommend that these products be labeled.
The above example is from the International Association of Food Protection and serves as a label for potentially hazardous food that requires time/temperature control for safety.

Spring is here! What better time to continue our end-of-the-month Logistics Glossary Week posts, to continue our mission to provide all who are interested in our industry to get savvy with our terminology. This month we’re going to continue our Border Crossing Logistics Terminology series!
Border Crossing Logistics Terminology – Part II
This month’s focus we’re going to be taking a more basic look at what cross-border logistics is all about and focus on the kinds of governmental initiatives that are involved in various cross-border logistics processes.
Cross-Border Logistics
Definition: The definition of cross-border logistics is pretty intuitive. It is simply any logistics processes that involves moving goods from one geographic boundary, usually separated by political entity (i.e. political entities or legal jurisdictions such as governments, sovereign states, federal states, and other applicable subnational entities.
As borders that separate these regions have their own system of governance, third-party logistics companies that specialize in cross-border logistics can take away any potential chaos with regards to compliance and the required documents to get your goods across from origin to destination.
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Definition: The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, is an agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. It was created in order to allow easier trade between the borders of each participating country through an ease of customs, regulations, and arguably most importantly: tariffs.
Because of the advantages that NAFTA offers to the participating North American countries, Canada and Mexico have been and currently maintain their place as two of the largest trading partners for the United States, and vice-vera.
Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)
Definition: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, or C-TPAT, is a voluntary supply chain security program. Headed by the US Customs and Border Protection, it was launched in 2001 in order to improve the security of private companies’ supply chains with respect to terrorrism.
Companies who participate in the C-TPAT certification program undergo a documented process for determining and alleviating risks throughout their cross-border supply chain processes. The benefit to this program is that participating companies are deemed low-risk, and are eligible for expedited processing of cargo which in turn leads to fewer customs examinations.

We’re ending February with our monthly Logistics Glossary week post. This focus is on maritime logistics terminology. Maritime logistics is essentially what it sounds like; it is the part of the supply chain that is primarily involved in the maritime environment. So anything involving the sea or ocean!
Maritime Logistics Part 1
Egyptians are commonly credited to be the first recorded instance of maritime logistics dating back to 3200 BCE. Transportation in those days were primarily dependent on wind, and stayed that way until mechanized ships (i.e. using steam engine technology) were invented and developed in the mid-19th century.
Fast forward to today, we now primarily use a diesel based engine and maritime logistics is a booming business, with about 90-95% of international trade being carried onboard ships of some sort. This post will focus on the different shipping terms you hear in the maritime logistics world.
Maritime Logistics Management
Definition: Maritime logistics management is the part of logistics and supply chain that plans, implements, and controls processes in the maritime environments (i.e. ocean or sea transport). These processes include, but are not limited to, efficient and effective flow of goods, services, and other related information based on customer or client needs.
Liner Shipping
Definition: Liner shipping a type of shipping involving high-capacity, ocean-bound ships that go on regular laid out routes and schedules. Currently, there are about 400 liner services that function today. They are commonly routed to do weekly departures from all the ports that each service calls. Ships that do this type of service are called liner vessels and are usually container ships and roll-on/roll-off ships. This type of transport is known to carry approximately 60% of the goods (by value) moved internationally every year.
Tramp Shipping
Definition: Tramp shipping is similar to line shipping in that it also involves high-capacity, ocean-bound ships. The main difference though is that tramp shipping doesn’t involve laid out routes and schedules; in fact, there’s no fixed routes, itinerary, or scheduling involved. Tramp shipping is advantageous because unlike liner shipping, tramp shipping options can be available at a short notice (or fixture) to load cargo from any port to any other port. This is great for customers that require specific shipping options that main routes from line shipping services may not offer, or if the route options do not make sense (i.e. are too convoluted).

We’re ending the first month of 2014 with our first Logistics Glossary Week post of the year. As you may already know, these posts focus on increasing your logistics and supply chain industry vocabulary as well as awareness about our industry. This month we’re going to focus on terminology that you might see at the border. This is Part I of our series on Border Crossing Logistics Terminology!
Border Crossing Logistics Terminology – Part I
This part will focus on the Importer of Record documents that are needed when crossing the border, for example an inbound shipment from the United States to Mexico. Now, depending on the border different documents might be necessary but this serves to give you an idea of what you would need to pay attention to.
Importer of Record
Definition: The Importer of Record is the person or company responsible for payment of duties and taxes and the maintenance of Customs records. For example, if your company was a US car parts manufacturer and wanted to ship to a car manufacturing plant in Mexico, you would be the Importer or Record and would need the following documents listed below.
Importer Tax ID
Definition: The importer tax ID is the identification needed for import duty purposes, where import duty is a kind of tax on levied goods which are being brought into the country. The duty to be paid depends on the country of origin of the goods as well as the type of goods. Rates can differ though, for example a standard rate could be 20%, but certain goods can be eligible for a reduced rate of 5% while some can have a no duty rate (0%).
Importer Product Specification
Definition: The importer product specification serves as a document that can be referred to when checking products at the border. This document allows the importer of record to define the custom product specifications of the goods that will be traveling across the border (i.e. the custom product specification group and product specification items to attach to any product). Attaching specifications with products need well-defined product specification groups and items for shipment security and risk mitigation practices.
Carta Encomienda Permits
Definition: The carta encomienda permit serves as the letter of appointment of the customs broker. The customs broker in charge of import operations must be able to present this this document (assigned by the importer of record) to Mexican authorities.
Other forms of documentation are needed, but we feel that they are pretty self-explanatory. These are the honourable mentions of what you need as an importer of record to cross the border: Voter’s registration, business registration, and address verification.

For this week’s Logistics Glossary Week post, we’re going to focus on hubs! What exactly is a hub? Well, it actually has many definitions. In the computing sense, a hub can refer to a common connection point for devices in a network. For example, a web hub was one of the initial names to what we now refer to as a portal. But what about the logistics sense? We see articles today that are discussing possible new logistics hubs for manufacturing or where the best logistics hubs are per region. So we thought that for this month’s blog post, we’d give you the breakdown on the logistics ‘hub.’
Logistics Hub
Definition: In logistics terminology, a ‘hub’ is a reference for a transportation network as a “hub and spoke.” The term is commonly used in the airline and trucking industry. A hub in the logistics sense serves as the focal point; its purpose is to handle the flow of good and other resources between the points of origin to destination in order to meet transportation requirements.
Logistics hubs can be mainly one form of transportation such as trucking terminals, rail hubs, or even a hub airport. All refer to the same idea. For example, a hub airport serves as the focal point for the origin and termination of long distance flights (flights from outlying areas meet connecting flights at the hub airport). But, it can also be a…
Multimodal Logistics Hub
Definition: A logistics hub that has more than one mode of transportation (truck, rail, sea, air, etc.) that handles the flow of goods and resources between the point of origin to destination in order to meet transportation demands and requirements.
Value Proposition
Definition: value proposition is particularly important to the definition of logistics hubs because in order for a logistics hub to be truly effective, there has to be value in using a particular location as a hub. Ideally the proposition is two-sided; meaning that the hub is a benefit to both buyers and sellers.
Hubs can be created organically due to pragmatic solutions stemming from a particular location. For example, logistics hubs can be near or around many manufacturing plants and companies that offer warehousing solutions. Furthermore, it could also be easy access between different modes of transportation such as truck and rail. This provides easy intermodal exchanges, like transporting goods from truck to rail. Because of this, routes are created and these hubs offer the benefit of convenience and potential cost savings for both suppliers and consumers.

Welcome to our first Logistics Glossary post of the Fall season! This week’s focus: factors that affect trucking costs! One of the things that we’ve written about before is the difference between calculating the lowest rate and the lowest total cost when quoting a delivery from point A to point B. Today, we can provide a real concrete example of factors that can make calculating a basic rate misleading. Any good third party logistics (3PL) providers can provide a rate for transport, but to be able to consider these factors below to generate a lower total cost (even though it is not the lowest rate in the market) is what makes them great! But let’s start with the definition of what getting a rate is in the logistics sense:
Rate/Pricing
Definition: In logistics terminology, getting a rate or pricing from a 3rd party logistics provider simply means that you are being given the established charges for the transport of certain goods.
So, if I want to transport a package from New York City to Mexico City, the rate would simply mean how much the service would cost to move these goods from origin to destination. But that doesn’t really cover all aspects for what your total cost could be. What is usually being calculated is the line haul cost.
Line Haul Cost
Definition: What is usually given to you when you as for a rate from origin to destination. Exclusive to trucking terminology, it is incurred in transporting goods over a route but not including costs of loading and unloading. Line-haul costs vary directly with distance.
Sometimes, because rates are Below we’re providing a list of some common, additional costs that should be taken into consideration when getting rates to have a better idea of total cost.
Loading/Unloading Costs
Definition: In logistics terminology, loading and unloading is the process of putting shipments into or taking shipments out of containers respectively. The main reasons that these costs apply to your shipments is primarily because initiatives taken to minimize problems that may occur during these phases, especially the loading phase. Problems such as inadequately sized docks and rough terrain can lead to load damage and more costly delays.
Fuel Surcharge
Definition: A fuel surcharge is an additional charge for motor carriers like trucks to cover fuel costs and is dependent on the line haul. There is some controversy with how fuel charges work as having a line haul cost and the fuel surcharge in flux makes it hard to calculate total freight spend and makes carrier relationships more difficult to maintain. There’s an old blog post from Inbound Logistics Magazine that gives great insight into the standardization of fuel surcharges.
Stop-Off Charge
Definition: A stop-off charge is an additional cost to cover trucks having to make specific stops between origin to destination. In some cases this ‘stop-off’ might be conveniently on route to the destination, but it is not necessarily always the case. These factors obviously affect the cost for the line haul as we affect the distance and the route that trucks have to travel through. The main reason stop-off charges happen is primarily due to packages in the truck having to be delivered to more than one location (i.e. Toronto – Montreal, but with a stop-off in Ottawa). But another common reason is due to warehouse space capacity issues. Sometimes the destination has an overflowed warehouse and a stop-off is needed to accommodate for it.
Bond Fee
Definition: A special type of storage fee for ‘legal’ reasons and is usually seen in cross-border shipments. A package ‘in bond’ means that the goods under customs control (for clearance, inspection, or other form of legal involvement) either until import duties or other charges are paid, or to avoid paying the duties or charges until a later date.
We hope after looking at some of these cost definition you have a better appreciation of our earlier statement:
A good third party logistics (3PL) providers can provide a rate for transport, but to be able to consider other cost factors to generate a lowest total cost (even though it is not the lowest rate in the market) is what makes them great!
If, for example, I wanted to take a load from Vancouver to San Francisco and I have been given Rate A at $100 and Rate 2 at $120 from just the line haul cost. I could obtain estimates on the additional cost factors and find out that other charges are similar except Rate A has a high fuel surcharge of $50 and a bond fee of $30, while Rate B has a those costs at $20 and $10 respectively. We can see that Rate A actually has a total cost of $180 while Rate B has a total cost of $150. Thus the lowest total cost would be Rate B. This is something to definitely keep in mind when getting rates for transport. It pays to know your logistics terminology!

Welcome to our last Logistics Glossary Week post of the summer! This week we’re focusing on the different modes of transportation for logistics and we’re finishing with a look into the potential future of logistics with the introduction of a new, interesting mode of transportation!
Intermodal
Definition: In logistics terminology, intermodal simply means using two or more modes of transportation, usually this refers to truck and rail, but it can refer to any combination of different mdes of transportation. For example truck and oceangoing vessel.
Intermodal transportation is one of the most common ways goods are transported, especially when crossing borders or when transporting good for significantly long distances. Indeed, our biggest offer as a third party logistics provider is intermodal logistics services. News earlier this year suggested that the logistics industry is to experience slow growth over the next 5 years, but it seems that certain aspects of logistics are less affected. Chief Supply Chain officers look to 3rd party logistics providers and intermodal seems to be on the rise in certain parts of the world, for example Eastern Canada.
Truckload & LTL
Definition: We’re grouping these two because they are essentially the same, but differ mainly in the size of shipment. When you think logistics, you normally think truckload transportation; moving full truckloads of freight from the point of origin to its destination. Less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services consolidate and transfer smaller shipments of freight, usually through a network of terminals and rally points.
Trucking is what makes good move across the world. It is the standard for logistics, hence why you might think trucks when you hear the word logistics! Because this is one of the most in-demand mode of transportation for getting good from origin to destination, there is a huge demand for truck drivers. This is no truer that today, when the addition of e-commerce has created even more demand for trucking services. This increase in demand, combined with the aging trucking population (the average age is about 40, with 20% of the total population over 55), there is a real need to increase the tuck driver workforce in order to keep up with tomorrow’s logistics demands.
Ocean and Air Carriers
Definition: Useful for global logistics, ocean and air carriers are what you would assume they are. They are cargo ships or airplanes that carry freight. Usually these types of transportation fit under intermodal logistics services because they tend to be combined with some form of ground transportation.
Drones
Definition: Also known as ‘unmanned aerial vehicles’ or ‘unmanned aerial systems,’ drones are best known for their military applications. They are aircrafts that can fly autonomously; they usually follow a set path from origin to destination using a form of GPS guide.
The development of technology has brought down the prices of drones to as little as $500-1000 USD. We found an article that takes a look at people in the logistics industry who have introduced the concept of drones as a means to transport goods. This could create a potentially hassle-free way that can transport goods speedily!

Welcome back to our monthly Logistics Glossary Week post! A couple of weeks ago we posted some great infographics that we found and a lot of them seemed to focus on trucking when we were searching for content. So this month we’re going to focus on the world of trucking. Specifically, we’re going to cover all of the different types of trailers. There are currently about 35 terms for the number of different trailers that is recognized in the American trucking industry. This month we will only be focusing on four types that we think are good to know about!
Dry van
Definition: What you first think of when you think for a truck with a trailer. A dry van carrier is an enclosed non-climate controlled rectangular trailer. It mainly carries general cargo, including food (but the kind that doesn’t require refrigeration). These types of trucks are loaded or unloaded via the rear doors and you would need elevated access for forklifts to put goods into the trailer.
Reefer or Refrigerated Van
Definition: Reefer trailers are truckload carriers that are designed specifically to keep perishable goods refrigerated. This type of carrier tends to be used by the food industry, but can also be used by pharmaceutical companies.
Reefer trailers are particularly important with regards to logistics because of their main purpose: preserving goods. Thus of all types of trailers, reefer trucks can be deemed the most time sensitive. This is apparent in certain governments attempting policy changes specific to the refrigerated vans. For example, India’s National Centre For Cold Chain Development (NCCD) has teamed up with the government to allow refrigerated trucks and vans toll-free access across all states.
Flatbed
Definition: A flatbed is a type of trailer that has no enclosures or doors. Sometimes known as a ‘haul brite,’ flatbeds can be loaded or unloaded from the sides and the top and doesn’t require elevated access for forklifts.
Tanker
Definition: Tankers have the primary purpose of hauling bulk quantities of liquid. They tend to be cylindrical in shape.
Tankers are special trailers that require quite a bit of attention and care as tankers can carry liquids that may be dangerous, for example oil. A fair chunk of accidents in the trucking industry result from tanker type malfunctions or accidents. And even when tanker trucks are being maintained gas leaks from flammable substances such as oil can lead to severe accidents.
