Hyundai
and Kia Canada submit vehicle production orders to the manufacturer, which
determines the vehicles shipped and listed in the vessel
manifest
Vehicles
are then discharged at a port and moved to a First Point of Rest to be surveyed
for damage and allocated either to dealerships or inventory. Vehicle survey and
purification information is updated into port processing system with an updated
manifest.
After
vehicles have been surveyed for damages and purified, vehicles are allocated for
PIO’s to dealerships or inventory for storage. Vehicles allocated for inventory receive a 90, 180,
270 or 360 maintenance service to ensure that vehicle quality is
maintained. Bar coded work orders are generated by the VPC to specify
services to be done to each vehicle.
Monroney
labels are printed and placed on each vehicle. Vehicles are then processed to be
washed, fueled and then sent to through the VPC assembly line for PIOs based on
work orders provided. The vehicle processing ensure that each work order service
is performed for final inspection.
Final
inspections are performed after all processing is complete. The rejected
vehicles will cycle through the process again until the vehicle passes
inspection. After vehicles pass final inspection, vehicles are then moved to the
staging area for dealer transport either through direct trucking or a
combination of both rail and trucking.
After
vehicle inspection, vehicles are then either “tendered” to a car carrier or
“released” to a rail carrier. All vehicles are inspected again by either truck
or rail carriers before loading. Truck carrier – Truck carriers delivery
vehicles directly to dealerships. Rail Carrier – Rail carriers are directly
connected to port locations for loading to destination rail ramp where truck
carrier will complete the final dealer delivery.
