lasteparti

Lasteparti is a term used primarily in Norwegian logistics to denote a discrete shipment unit, consisting of a defined quantity of goods loaded together for transport. The word combines laste (load/cargo) and parti (batch/lot). In practice, a lasteparti is tracked as a unit in orders, inventory records, and transport documents, and may be identified by a lot number, pallet ID, or bill of lading.

Applications and usage: A lasteparti is used for planning deliveries, consolidating shipments, and optimizing load capacity. It enables batch traceability for quality control and recalls. In warehousing, the concept supports batch picking and FIFO/LIFO strategies; in transportation, it defines what is loaded on a truck, container, ship, or train.

Relationship to related terms: A lasteparti is similar to the English terms shipment, consignment, or batch, though exact usage can vary by country and company. Clear labeling and documentation are important to maintain traceability across the supply chain.

Examples: A lasteparti could be 24 crates of fruit weighing 1.2 tonnes, or a container containing 10 pallets of electronics. The same company may divide or combine lastepartier depending on orders, storage constraints, or carrier requirements.
