väljaveo

Väljaveo is a term used in logistics to describe the outbound transportation of goods from a sender to a recipient. It covers the planning, execution, and control of shipments from an origin such as a warehouse or production site to a destination such as a customer, distributor, or another facility. Väljaveo is typically distinct from inbound logistics, which focuses on receiving and storing materials.

In practice, väljaveo includes order processing, picking and packing, labeling, documentation, carrier selection, route planning, scheduling, and tracking. It may involve domestic shipments and international exports. For international movements, preparation of documents such as a commercial invoice, packing list, and shipment documents (for example, a bill of lading or airway bill) is common, and export declarations and compliance checks may apply. Depending on jurisdiction, export controls, sanctions screening, and other regulatory requirements can affect what may be shipped and how.

Within the European Union, shipments between member states are typically handled as internal movements with simplified customs procedures, while exports to non-EU countries require formal customs clearance and declarations.

Key performance indicators for väljaveo include on-time delivery, transport cost per unit, transit time, and the rate of damaged or lost shipments. Efficient väljaveo improves customer service and overall supply chain efficiency.
