R – Z
We continue with our logistics alphabet to understand the complex world of logistics. At EPS, we always practice the key principles of this exciting field to provide you with timely service and the highest quality. Below is the third installment of our logistics alphabet, from the letter R to X.
R – REEFER:
A “Reefer” is a refrigerated container used to transport goods that require controlled temperatures. At EPS, we have the capability to handle refrigerated shipments, ensuring that sensitive products arrive in optimal condition.
S – SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM):
“Supply Chain Management” is the process of overseeing the entire flow of goods, from the supplier to the end customer. At EPS, we implement comprehensive supply chain management, ensuring that each step is carried out accurately to provide you with reliable, quality service.
T – TRANSIT TIME:
“Transit Time” is the time it takes for a shipment to reach its destination. At EPS, we closely monitor transit times to meet promised deadlines and provide timely delivery for each of our shipments.
U – ULD (UNIT LOAD DEVICE):
A “ULD” is the container or pallet used in air transportation to group cargo. At EPS, we ensure that the cargo is properly managed in these devices, optimizing space and guaranteeing that shipments arrive in perfect condition.
V – VENDOR:
A “Vendor” is the supplier or seller of goods. At EPS, we work closely with reliable vendors to ensure that each stage of the logistics process is carried out smoothly and that goods arrive at their final destination safely.
W – WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WMS):
The “Warehouse Management System” is a system designed for the effective oversight of storage facilities. At EPS, we utilize cutting-edge technology in our storage areas to ensure that products are handled efficiently, from the moment they arrive to the point they are dispatched.
X – X-RAY INSPECTION:
“X-ray Inspection” is the process of examining shipments using electromagnetic radiation (X-Rays) to ensure safety. At EPS, we implement X-ray inspections to ensure that shipments are secure and comply with legal and customs requirements.
Y – YARD:
The “Yard” is the area at a terminal where containers and transport vehicles are stored or parked. At EPS, we manage our logistics yards efficiently to ensure the continuous flow of goods and avoid delays in dispatch.
Z – ZONE PRICING:
“Zone Pricing” is a pricing system based on the geographical location of the destination. At EPS, we apply this pricing methodology to ensure that our customers receive competitive and fair rates based on the distance of their shipments.
