Discussing with a refrigeration engineer should be a part of each loss prevention plan for executives of hostels, grocery stores, eateries and any other places that stores and re-sells food merchandise. Small business owners naturally come with the unspoken job description of living by the credo, "To always be prepared." Running interference to stop man-made and natural disasters from decreasing earnings and profits is the daily game of operating a solid company. Failing to be proactive in business is lethal.
On December 25, 2012; (yes, Xmas Day), one or two local stores which carry the name of a big food chain, lost all electrical supply for a few days due to storms that produced strong winds. They were deprived of electricity for around a week.
As a result of a absence of foresight, they had no backup refrigeration plan in place. Engaging with a refrigeration engineer, prior to a crisis, might have forestalled the gigantic losses of meat, dairy and produce. Food that is stockpiled in a unit that's got a temperature between 40 and one hundred 40 degrees is in the "danger zone."
Not only would have the backup refrigeration plan designed by the refrigeration engineer been put into immediate action; but he'd have also been available to be on-site during the storm emergency. The amount of money it takes to hire a good refrigeration engineer is unimportant to the benefits.
It makes virtually no difference if you are a local grocer, the deli on the corner, or part of an enterprise. You want to safeguard your inventory. The grocery stores that were badly affected by this Xmas Day typhoon were more than capable of contracting a professional refrigeration expert. This food chain is ranked number 23 on the 2012 Fortune 30 list.
Naturally this rank is based on 2011 financial reports. Revenues for that year are recorded as 602 million bucks. What effect will these spoilage costs have on this years' revenues? Don't copy the heavy hitters. Play like a winner.
