// corpus dimension 16 of 17
Parts have to arrive as parts.
Freight, packaging, export experience. The last mile of manufacturing is a loading dock.
// what the corpus holds
Freight capability. Parcel, LTL, flatbed, and who they run with.
Packaging practice. Crating, VCI, custom dunnage for delicate work.
Export experience. Shops that have shipped controlled goods know the paperwork.
Dock reality. Overhead cranes and dock doors decide what a shop can even load.
// why it decides sourcing
A perfect part that arrives dinged is scrap with a tracking number. Packaging and freight discipline is where careful shops show, and careless shops get discovered too late.
