A logistics handover
A discussion framework for the point where a sourcing agreement becomes an operational movement.
Map the responsibilities
Identify who owns the purchase order, collection instruction, documentation, receiving window and exception handling. Handover problems often appear where two teams assume the other has the next action. A simple shared description makes the gap visible.
Follow an exception
Take one realistic delay and walk through the response. Which signal arrives first, who evaluates its effect and who can authorise a change? Testing an exception reveals more than a description of the normal process alone.
Close the loop
Use the discussion to identify the information that should return to sourcing. Delivery variability, handling requirements and recurring documentation issues can all change the next commercial decision. The handover is a continuing relationship, not a single transfer.
