GUIDELINES FOR USING THE MISSIONARY EXPEDITERS
PROJECT WEBSITE: MXProjectWeb.com
The
Missionary Expediters Project Website provides our select clients on-line
information on your
projects. This means, what you see, is what currently is. You see the actual, current view of
shipment projects, warts and all.
So,
when a shipment starts up, the information will be broad and general. As details are provided or developed,
information on the website will be updated.
If
you see something wrong, tell us! Your involvement is important.
This
is the best way we know to end up with the most up to date, refined, and
considered shipping information, throughout the evolution of your projects,
that is critical to successful execution of your projects. We want all participants to work off
the same page.

Upon

To
obtain your information, there are two tasks: First, you must select the projects; then, you must sort them. Here's how:
The
website gives you three buttons to find your projects of interest.
The
first two buttons permit you to select and sort projects by the most common way
of viewing projects... by Nation, and by Group. (These terms are described in the appendix on
Classifications.)
The
third button, the Search
button, is the most powerful button. It allows you to customize both the
selection and the sorting of the projects.
SELECT
BY NATION (destination)
Click
on a nation to get its Project List.
The Project
List is a
columnar list format showing key project information. The primary sort of the Nation Project List is by Group.
You
may further sort the projects within the Groups by clicking on one of the
underlined field names. You may make the additional sort in descending or
ascending order by clicking on the field name alternately.
Click
on a project description to get the Project Details.
To obtain
Project Details click on the (blue underlined) project description.
Project detail is shown in an ocean bill of lading format.

Click

In
the top window you click on each arrow to chose the selection criteria. In the first three column arrows, you
may chose: the field, the condition, and the value. You may specify more than one criteria by clicking on the
fourth column arrow.
Then,
in bottom window, you click on the arrow to chose the field(s) by which the
selection is to be sorted.
An
example of a simple selection follows:

Field Condition Value And/Or

Appendix
PROJECT
CLASSIFICATIONS
The
basic classifications that the website employs are defined as follows:
Nation
Shipments
most commonly are known by the nation of its destination.
Groups
Most
clients will have just one type of shipment, like GIK.
Sometimes,
however, clients have different types of projects.
For
example, Food for the Hungry projects include GIK shipments and U.S. government
food aid shipments. So, certain
group initials are defined: FFH for GIK, and FHI for food aid. Then, for some food aid shipments, the
onward carriage is considered as a separate shipment from the ocean shipment. To avoid double counting the same
cargo, the shipments with only onward carriage are considered a separate group,
FHO.
So,
Food for the Hungry groups are:
FFH for
GIK shipments
FHI for
food aid shipments, either ocean freight or ÒthroughÓ freight
FHO for
food aid, onward carriage freight only
Other clients will each have their own definition of groups.
