Seasonal haul review
Some books of work only make sense when you hang two seasons next to each other. Harvest wine, New Year retail, and a quiet February are not the same network wearing different coats.
In Kakheti the collection loop thickens for a few weeks and then thins until the next release. In Tbilisi retail yards the last ten days of December look like a different company. Ports have their own bunching when a ship is late and every trailer arrives on the same afternoon.
A seasonal haul review is for offices that already know they have two years inside one calendar. We draw both at the same scale so the extra night runs and the borrowed yard are visible, not buried in an annual average.
On the table
- Agreement on the two periods (for example harvest and the following February)
- Paired drawings at the same scale
- Notes on runs that exist in only one season
- A sitting to compare the plates
Not in this study
- A forecast of next year's volumes
- Driver roster design
- Weather modelling
How a study proceeds
- Name the two periods and confirm both have usable records.
- We draw them at the same scale.
- Reading: what the rush adds, what the slack drops, where a yard is only a harvest yard.
What we ask you to prepare
Two comparable sets of waybills. If the rush used subcontractors who left no copies, say so; those runs will be holes, not guesses.
Limits we name in advance
We compare what was written down. We do not fill a missing February with a 'typical' February from another firm.
