Before / separate lots
Record cartons and outer dimensions for each supplier. Keep pallet height, stack limits and handling constraints with the baseline.
Sourcing impact / Freight planning
BFGoodrich Freight & Material Planning
Compare packing plans on the same tire order to see where carton space changes. Review the route and load plan before drawing conclusions about emissions.
After / revised packing
Keep the same order lines and revise the carton plan. Ask the carrier to review usable capacity and confirm the packing arrangement.
Compare packed volume
Enter the total packed cubic meters for the same order under each plan. This calculation describes volume. Route, weight and vehicle utilization are separate inputs for an emissions estimate.
Planning scenarios
These illustrative scenarios describe decisions to check for a new order.
Consolidating a mixed-size order
Compare carton and pallet dimensions against the carrier’s load plan. Track handling and relabeling separately so a smaller volume figure does not hide an extra transfer.
Comparing replacement tread choices
Ask for equivalent rolling resistance and grip test conditions. Record axle duty, service description and actual wear observations before estimating replacement demand.
Send the order and packing constraints
Include the port, size mix, carton labels, and any buyer-defined pallet or stacking limits.
- Match the same tire mix in each plan.
- Compare carton dimensions and gross weight.
- Confirm handling scope with the carrier.
