Abstract

This article explores the options for automating the process involved in shipping metallurgical products. The shipping process usually begins with the logistics team entering a request for shipping into the information system after production is complete. The team then searches for a contracted transport company, selects the least expensive from the available options, creates an order in the system, contacts the selected company, and before commencing with shipment, enters the vehicle and driver information into the system. Under the desired solution, this entire process would be automated with a web application, with only the driver and vehicle information being entered by the transport company.
