Loppukohde

Loppukohde is a Finnish term that denotes the final destination or end target of a process, route, or operation. It is a compound word formed from loppu (end) and kohde (destination or target). The concept is generic and widely applicable across different domains.

In transportation and logistics, loppukohde commonly refers to the last stop of a route or the ultimate delivery location. It helps distinguish the final destination from intermediate stops, depots, or transfer points. In planning documents, timetables, and route descriptions, the loppukohde specifies where the service or shipment is intended to end.

In project planning and analysis, loppukohde can denote the ultimate objective or outcome of a program or initiative. Defining the loppukohde supports the setting of goals, performance indicators, and evaluation criteria, clarifying what success looks like at the end of a process.

In other domains, the term may describe the end recipient or endpoint of distribution, influence, or effect. For example, in energy networks it may refer to the final consumer or consumer load, while in product development it might indicate the final area of use or market target. The precise meaning of loppukohde depends on the context and industry, but the core idea remains the same: the ultimate end point to be reached.
