Loading is done preferably with fork lifts designed for this work in which 24 order 5 boxes can be loaded together into one side of a distribution box (2) or loaded in three groups of eight as shown in Figure 9. Loading is done based on the delivery plan for that vehicle which is typically established and controlled by a computer. The loading is designed to efficiently support the delivery plan for a particular delivery. The plan is given to the distribution staff to ensure they know exactly where each order box (3) is located, where it is to be delivered, and the route to be i o followed. In this way, at the stage of delivery, distribution staff would be able to find and deliver the order easily, without confronting any problems.
