      2. Batch control: tracking the goods via digital easy-to-trace coding system. This control can be based on document counts, record counts, quantity totals, dollar totals, or hash (mixed data, such as customer AR numbers) totals.

The service might include any of the following: order entry, order management, shipment and vehicle tracking, communications and reporting).

      6. Kitting: Light assembly of components or parts into defined units. Kitting reduces the need to maintain an inventory of pre-built completed products, but increases the time and labor consumed at shipment.

      8. Line feeding: covers the delivery of assembled components to a production line.

      11. Packing and Marking: The activities of packing products into suitable media for safe shipping and unitizing one or more items of an order, placing them into an appropriate container, and marking and labeling the container with customer shipping destination data, as well as other information that may be required.

      12. Postponement packaging: the delay of packaging until the latest possible time.

      13. Pre-assembling: the completion of a finished product from component parts or pre-programming of products.

      14. Product assembly: a group of subassemblies and/or parts that are put together and that constitute a major subdivision for the final product. An assembly may be the end item or a component of a higher level assembly.

      15. Repacking: Packing for a specific customer again. It can include repalletization. (Pallet: The platform which cartons are stacked on and then used for shipment or movement as group. Pallets may be made of wood or composite materials).

      16. QA Control: The management function that attempts to ensure that the foods or services manufactured or purchased meet the product or service specifications; quality control ensures that product is received into and dispatched from the warehouse in a suitable condition, free from faults and defects.

      17. Re-Working: modification of products to suit a local market.

      18. Sequencing: Logistics term used in supply-chain solutions in connection with the sequencing (ie timed delivery) of components into a production line.
