Export Week specs
Export Week specs lock down the cut data, pack method, and dispatch references used on outbound batches. The sheet records blade or tool choice, finished size tolerance, labelling points, and crate checks before freight handover.
Export batch cutting requirements
The Export Week specs page sets out the cut, pack, and dispatch requirements tied to export work. It includes the checks that support crating, document accuracy, and consistent finished parts before freight handling. That makes the cutting specification easier to carry through to the shipment stage.
Export work starts with stock grade, part size, and destination handling risk. Moisture on coastal routes, dust on inland sites, load-shedding interruptions, and late carrier collections all change how the cutting cell, wrap, and paperwork need to be set out for Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town dispatch.
Take a photo of the approved first-off and keep it with the run file. Each Export Week pack note should state edge condition, corner protection, stack height, and how parts are separated in the crate so the next shift does not guess its way through a restart.
Documents carried with the shipment
Match Export Week specs to the linked Applications note and the correct Edgework reference before adding extra operations. Recheck tool numbers, carton or crate marks, and dispatch instructions before release. Use the contact form when the spec must match a current machine setup or export batch.

Dispatch conditions that affect the spec
Export dispatch often works around OR Tambo flight bookings, depot cut-off times in Sunnyrock, and handovers from established factory sites in Crown Mines. For that reason the spec should separate the shipment batch from ordinary weekly output, with its own cut list, pack count, and document check before the truck leaves.
Salt air on coastal jobs can push rust prevention and wrap choice higher up the checklist. Inland dust changes cleaning intervals on guides, guards, and sensors, while power interruptions can shift when the signed first article and final pack verification are done.

Records to keep with Export Week
Use Export Week for runs that need export-ready cutting, packing discipline and clearer batch control than the base setup.
Store this specification with the machine details, tooling IDs, and export paperwork while the run is still current. That record helps when dispatch checks crate contents, when a buyer queries part marking, or when the same batch format is repeated for another shipment.
