Build the programme around movements
Explain expected monthly throughput, typical parcel sizes, replenishment intervals and stock levels. A dedicated capacity requirement should reflect the operating programme as well as the largest expected delivery.
Review commercial flexibility
Clarify renewal, volume commitments, tariff review, additional throughput, maintenance and the process for changing the programme. Record which conditions are firm and which remain subject to agreement.
Plan beyond the first delivery
Think about receipt and dispatch schedules, quality responsibilities, stock reporting and contract renewal dates. A repeat programme benefits from a clear owner for each operational instruction.
