TM 202 · PLAN
How does Basic TM create a feasible transportation plan?
Planning assigns compatible Freight Units to Freight Orders. A good Basic TM result makes route, schedule, resource, equipment, capacity, stops, and assigned freight visible and explainable.
READ FROM RESULT BACK TO RULE
Create feasible Freight Orders
Basic TM combines transportation demand, master data, planning decisions, operating proof, and commercial settlement. A visible document status alone rarely explains whether the flow is feasible or recoverable.
ONE BASIC TM STORY
Follow the decision through its evidence
Each hand-off has a different owner and a different proof. Preserve the hand-off rather than repairing a later status in isolation.
- 01INPUTFreight Units
Demand supplies quantities, dates, locations, and compatibility.
- 02DECIDEPlanning profile and constraints
Route, schedule, capacity, equipment, and dates are checked against the planning context.
- 03OUTPUTFreight Order
Stops, schedule, resource, equipment, assigned carrier, and assigned freight become visible.
DIAGNOSTIC EVIDENCE
Ask the question at the correct layer
Transport problems become recoverable when the team checks the decision, source data, document, and event evidence in that order.
Check planning horizon, release state, locations, dates, compatibility, and relevant planning profile.
Compare capacity, stop sequence, equipment, time window, and grouping constraints.
Check route, duration, distance, calendars, planned dates, and manual overrides.
PROJECT MOMENT
One route must leave a pallet behind
A planned vehicle has no remaining compatible capacity. The planner examines another resource or a later departure and records the service decision instead of overloading the order or hiding the exception.
- Capacity is verified
- Service effect is visible
- Alternative is evaluated
- Unassigned demand remains explainable
See how readiness, loading, stops, events, and plan changes cross responsibilities.
