The planning process for moving project cargo continues to grow in detail and complexity, especially as manufacturers factor transportation into design and production. Building intricate components intended for assembly on-site
has made the project logistics supply chain almost machine-like in precision.
"In the past, companies stick-built equipment on-site at destination or wherever components were being fabricated. Modularization has changed the process".
"Every part is now a critical component. If one unit isn't available at the right time and in the right place, it can affect a whole plant. Moves have become much more critical."
Global complexity only adds to the challenge. Parts and modular packages are being produced in far-flung parts of the world, then shipped to final destinations. The packages are more critical; therefore, planning has to be
detailed and partnerships consummated well in advance of the actual moves.
