Shrink at the store:
• Many grocers think waste due to spoilage occurs after it is received at the store.
• Assumes uniform aging and shipment does not change from field to store.
• If quality was compromised, grocers would have rejected shipment.

Truck-level monitoring:
• Typically uses one or two temperature monitors per truck.
• Does not monitor condition of all pallets – pallet level variation is significant and impacts quality.
• Visual inspection is not adequate – it is a lagging indicator and identifies problems after they have occurred.

Implications
Sampling only one pallet results in a:
• 50% chance of rejecting entire shipment (100% waste)• 25% chance of assuming the entire shipment has 2
days of shelf life• 25% chance of assuming the entire shipment has 6
days of shelf life
All cases lead to waste or unsatisfied customers due to poor product quality!
