MIST Working Group, version 2001<br />
The scenarios identify different business practices between trade and transport, or each<br />
scenario indicating the roles of the parties that are involved. As the scenarios focus on the<br />
exchange of in<strong>for</strong>mation between trade and transport, the number of parties are limited to:<br />
consignor, consignee, freight <strong>for</strong>warder/carrier and sometimes logistic center/warehouse.<br />
The in<strong>for</strong>mation exchanges (and EDI messages) are also limited to the ones that are<br />
necessary to support the process between trade and transport.<br />
The scenarios describe the most common business practices and in<strong>for</strong>mation exchanges.<br />
The scenarios are valid regardless which method <strong>for</strong> the exchange of in<strong>for</strong>mation, be it<br />
paper documents, EDI messages, XML messages, faxes and phone calls.<br />
The scenarios indicate the usage of transport labels <strong>for</strong> automatic identification. The<br />
transport labels are created when goods are combined into one transport handling unit. This<br />
can either be done when the goods are produced or when the goods are consolidated <strong>for</strong><br />
transport or warehousing purposes. The transport label identifies the transport handling unit<br />
(through a number issued by the creator) and may contain additional in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />
When applying the scenarios in practice the order of the in<strong>for</strong>mation flows (and even their<br />
usages) many wary slightly. The scenarios outline the most common and complete set of<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation flows <strong>for</strong> a given scenario, and variations to this set of flows <strong>for</strong> a given<br />
scenario may appear.<br />
