Monday – Start by reviewing your incoming shipments for the week. In KanBo, go to your Inbound Transport Logistics Planning space and view the cards for each shipment. Use the Kanban view to move shipments to their appropriate stage (e.g. waiting at port, in transit, arrived at warehouse). Assign team members to each card so they can monitor the progress of each shipment.

Tuesday – Take a closer look at a specific shipment that is scheduled to arrive soon. Open its card and view its details, such as the supplier, carrier, ETA, and any related documents. Use the comments feature to discuss any potential issues or concerns with your team. Assign specific tasks or follow-up actions if necessary.

Wednesday – Use KanBo’s document management capabilities to ensure that all necessary documents related to the incoming shipments are organized and easily accessible. Create document folders for each shipment and upload all related documents, such as bill of lading, packing lists, and customs documents.

Thursday – Conduct a team meeting to review the current status of incoming shipments. Use KanBo’s Activity View to show the history of changes and updates made to each card.

Friday – Wrap up the week by using KanBo’s reporting capabilities to generate reports summarizing the status of the incoming shipments for the week.
