Order planning and evidence

MOOG Sustainability in Procurement

Put packaging, consolidation and any supplier environmental documentation in the purchase brief so buyers can compare what each proposal covers.

Build requirements into the order

Define the packaging brief

Ask the buyer which packaging materials and labels the destination warehouse can handle. Specify corrosion protection for exposed steel parts and separation for machined faces.

Compare like-for-like proposals

Compare cartons at the same units per carton and pallet height. Keep load protection, handling limits and receiving requirements in the comparison.

Record what is dispatched

Capture actual carton count, pallet count and gross shipment weight from supplier packing records. Ask the freight provider for any route-level information required for accounting.

What to measure or request

kg / carton

Pack weight

Record packaging weight and unit count on the same pack revision. Compare protection and damage risk alongside weight.

m³ / shipment

Consolidation plan

Use confirmed carton dimensions and loading restrictions. Compare one coordinated shipment with split orders where timing or traceability requires it.

Period / boundary

Supplier evidence

Record the organization or product boundary, reporting period and method before comparing any environmental figures supplied for an order.

Supplier

Packaging specification and actual pack measurements.

Inspector

Observations against the agreed pack and marking brief.
