Six stages. What each one has to satisfy is stated openly; how it is solved is ours.

Establish what is physically on the order, at order drop, before anything is picked — dimensions at each packaging level, weight, shape class, orientation rules, bearing tolerance, compatibility. And how far each value can be trusted.

Carton, pallet and vehicle solved as one nested problem rather than three — because the best carton is frequently not the best pallet, and the pallet is what you actually pay to ship.

Outcarton, pallet and load solved as one problem

Selected for downstream consequence, not immediate fit. The container that holds the most units is routinely not the container that ships cheapest.

Turn the physical result into the commitments that lock first — density and freight class, pallet and carton counts for the appointment and the ASN, packaging quantities for procurement, work content for the shift plan.

Compare against what actually shipped, attribute the difference, and feed it back. Confidence rises where confirmed and falls where it isn't — which is the only asset here that compounds.
