Service overview
Responsibility.
Every working day.
Operate planned routes that move prepared feed from a feed center to customer farms, including loading, route execution, delivery records and quantity reconciliation. The service links production at the feed center with farm demand so daily rations arrive in the required quantity and the network can reconcile what was produced, dispatched and received.
The operating plan links feed-center loading, route scheduling and farm delivery. Records such as route plan and loading sheet make on-time delivery and quantity variance visible in management review. The service agreement confirms coverage, handovers, exception ownership and the decisions that remain with the client. This creates one recurring line of responsibility from routine work through follow-up.
