Finished Vehicle Logistics
Discover best practices for reducing costs and improving finished vehicle supply chain management processes.
Improving Processes
AIAG’s Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL) program is powered by the collective insights of AIAG member volunteers representing rail, truck, ocean carrier, custom broker, and terminal operating organizations. Together we have made significant strides in improving processes while reducing complexities in the finished vehicle logistics supply chain. AIAG work groups have developed multiple publications to advance excellence in finished vehicle logistics.
FVL Manuals
AIAG and their M-22 FVL Transportation Damage Handling Processes guideline have been instrumental in standardizing the processes followed by all stakeholders in the new vehicle transportation network (OEMs, railroads, car-haul carriers, ocean carriers, and yard managers). Anyone new to this part of the vehicle business can get a quick and detailed overview of how the 'damage inspection and reporting process' should be done. The all-inclusive Damage Prevention Committee, overseen by AIAG managers, ensures that the M-22 stays up to date with the latest behaviors and technology in the vehicle shipping arena. I highly recommend that everyone reacquaint themselves with a thorough read of the M-22, each year.
