9 Uses of Temperature Monitoring 9 Data From One Shipment: Decision Making for Individual Shipment Data Aggregated From Many Shipments: Continuous Improvement

10 Temperature Deviations Are Common Berries 10 Bananas Grapes

12 Temperature Statistics 12

13 Temperature Statistics 13 Mean StDev Min Max Days Mean StDev Min Max Days Mean StDev Min Max Days Mean StDev Min Max Days

14 Using Relevant Metrics: Example - Degree Minutes 14 Degree Minutes provide insight into both the time a shipment spends out of specification and the severity of the temperature. Degree Minutes accumulate anytime the temperature exceeds a particular threshold; in this example, 5 C. 308 Degree Minutes

15 Aggregate Data Analysis: Identify Where to Take Action 15 Suppliers Receivers c c A B C D E F G H I J K A B C Individual Shipment Details

16 Monitoring and Improving the Cold Chain 16 Monitors placed on routine shipments NEXT STEPS Shipments received On-site investigation to identify corrective actions Monitor data uploaded to database Conduct training AND/OR implement corrective actions Aggregated data analyzed and used to identify areas in need of cold chain improvement Measureable Continuous Improvement

17 Field Work Example: Cold Chain Assessments 17 Consistent Packaging and Pallet Temperatures Adequate Product Temperatures Trailer and Facility Inspections Actionable Process Improvement Recommendations

18 Field Work Example: Thermal Mappings 18

19 Continuous Cold Chain Improvement 19 The incremental effect of multiple Cold Chain Assessments and ongoing monitoring of the cold chain is what leads to a measurable improvement in the process over time. Identify Cold Chain Issues Cold Chain Assessment Period Best Practices Training and Implementation Improved Cold Chain Performance

20 Future Trends and Drivers 20 More Monitoring Regulation Real-Time Tech Internet of Things & Sensor Technology Refrigeration Unit Telematics Fresher, Safer Product Granular & Farm to Fork Monitoring
