2 REDUCE SHRINK AND IMPROVE QUALITY THROUGH EFFICIENT COLD CHAIN OPERATIONS Glenn Todd Todd Construction Services, Inc. May 15, 2014

3 LOSS DEFINED The failure to keep or continue to have something Having something taken from you or destroyed Money spent is more than amount earned or received Failure to gain, win or obtain something A decrease in amount

4 SAVINGS BY DESIGN Taking control of your environment Control what you receive (time, temperature, condition of product) Your shipping & receiving dock A loading dock should be refrigerated for the purpose of receiving warm produce, allowing it to be staged on the dock to reduce the heat load before being placed in to the cooler Your loading dock should have enough room to allow the produce to be staged on the dock without blocking cross traffic or other dock operations Your loading dock should be wide enough to accommodate the quantity of trucks you intend to ship & receive to and from your facility in a reasonable time Staging your received produce on the dock allows you to inspect its condition before being placed in to the cooler

5 DESIGN PAST TODAY MEETING MY NEED TODAY PLANNING FOR MY NEED TOMORROW DESIGN FOR TOMORROW

6 SOMETHING TAKEN FROM YOU AVOIDING LOSS THROUGH PROPER CONTROL & ACCOUNTABILITY A SHIPPING AND RECEIVING OFFICE SHOULD HAVE CLEAR VISIBILITY OF ALL PRODUCT COMING IN AND GOING OUT YOUR SHIPPING & RECEIVING MANAGER SHOULD MONITOR & TRACK DOCK WORKERS PERFORMANCE, PRODUCT CONDITION, PRODUCT THRU-PUT

7 AVOID YOUR FACILITY BEING DESTROYED TODAYS TECHNOLOGIES FOR LOADING DOCK DOORS BREAKAWAY DOORS AVOID COSTLY MISTAKES DOOR REPAIRS DOOR DOWNTIME WINDOWS IN YOUR DOCK DOORS LET YOU KNOW THE TRUCK IS IN POSITION BEFORE YOU OPEN THE DOOR DOCK SEALS ELIMINATE THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS FROM ENTERING YOUR FACILITY DOCK BUMPERS ARE YOUR EXTERNAL GUARD TRUCKS ARE TOUGH ON YOUR EXTERIOR COMPONENTS PROTECT YOUR WALLS PROTECT YOUR DOCK SEALS PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

8 PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT A $ GOAL POST BOLLARD PROTECTS A $12, DOOR A $ GUARD POSTS PROTECTS A $4, DOOR MINIMAL COST PROTECTION PROTECTS MAXIMUM COST INVESTMENTS

9 INCREASED EFFICIENCY = INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY A WELL LIGHTED TRUCK INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY & DECREASE WORKERS ACCIDENTS DOCK LEVELERS INCREASE EFFICIENCY & DECREASE WORKER ACCIDENTS

10 EFFICIENCY THROUGH BEST DESIGN PRACTICES A MULTI-STAGED REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR RACK SYSTEM WITH VFD APPLICATION MULTI STAGE REFRIGERATION COMPRESSORS RACK SYSTEMS ALL YOUR EGGS ARE NOT IN ONE BASKET AND HAVING A MULTI COMPRESSOR STAGED SYSTEM ELIMINATES OR GREATLY REDUCES THE CHANCE OF YOUR COOLER BEING DOWN A MULTI COMPRESSOR STAGED SYSTEM DESIGNED PROPERLY ONLY ENGAGES THE HORSEPOWER ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS, DEPENDING ON LOAD DEMAND A REFRIGERATION SYSTEM DESIGNED WITH VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD) MOTORS THE MOTORS (AND COMPRESSORS) ARE WORKING AT ONLY THE SPEED THE LOAD DEMAND IS ASKING FOR THE FAN MOTORS ON THE EVAPORATIVE COILS ARE WORKING ONLY AT THE SPEED THE LOAD DEMAND IS ASKING FOR ADVANTAGES MAXIMIZING ENERGY EFFICIENCY RESULTS IN GREATLY REDUCING YOUR ELECTRIC BILL VFD DESIGN IS FAR LESS WEAR & TEAR ON YOUR EQUIPMENT

11 PROPER RACKING YOUR COOLER RACKING SELECTION BASED ON QUANTITY OF PRODUCTS STORED BULK STORAGE OF INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS Select racking Single pallet deep Maximum pick points Best for small quantities of multiple products Drive in racking Multi pallet deep Maximizes best use of cubic feet Bulk storage with minimal pick points

12 PROPER RACKING YOUR COOLER RACKING SELECTION BASED ON ACCESIBILITY (EASE OF ACCESS) PERISHABLE PRODUCTS (FIRST IN-FIRST OUT) Push back racking Gravity rolls pallets to the front of the racking Push in & pull out pallets from aisles (no drive into racks) Requires maintenance & upkeep so sleds roll freely Maximizes bulk storage, minimizes forklift travel Flow thru racking Best use for first in / first out Product with date or time sensitivity Requires maintenance & upkeep so rollers roll freely Racking must be accessible on both ends

13 PROPER RACKING LAYOUT PRE-DETERMINE PRODUCT TYPES & QUANTITIES OF PRODUCTS YOU INTEND TO STORE, WILL DETERMINE YOUR RACKING TYPE SELECTION AISLE WIDTHS BETWEEN RACKING SHOULD BE NO LESS THAN 11 NO GREATER THAN 13 RACKING DESIGNED WITH A TUNNEL NEAR THE BACK OF THE COOLER ALLOWS FOR CROSSING INTO NEXT AISLE WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE TO THE FRONT CROSS AISLE, AND WITHOUT HAVING TO LOSE VALUABLE PALLET POSITIONS RACK HEIGHT DESIGN SO THE TOP OF THE HIGHEST PRODUCT IS 48 BELOW CEILING OR 36 BELOW ANY OBSTRUCTONS SPACE RACKING 18 AWAY FROM WALLS FOR MAINTENANCE BETWEEN RACKING & WALLS PROTECT FRONT LEGS OF FRONT UPRIGHTS WITH GUARDS SELECT & INSTALL YOUR RACKING DESIGNED FOR SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN YOUR REGION PLAN YOUR ENTRANCE & EXIT DOORS OF THE COOLER FOR BEST ACCESS TO YOUR RACKING MATRIX

14 STACKING WRONG Racking & product too high, or ceiling too low Lights & refrigeration coils are vulnerable to damage and air flow across the cooler is blocked

15 STACKING RIGHT Racking strategically installed to maintain good safe clearance from obstructions Keeping a good safe separation between pallets of product & your ceiling & your coils, gives you good air flow across the cooler & eliminates damage to expensive equipment

16 FLOW THRU & PUSH BACK RACKING Flow thru racking is sloped so what is placed in the racking first, and rolls to the other side for first removal Push back racking allows you to work from the aisle, where you are pushing & picking from the front of the racking

17 SELECT RACKING & DRIVE IN RACKING Select racking gives you access to more picks or SKU s, for multiple product types Drive in racking stores bulk inventory of large deliveries of same shipments

18 RACK SUPPORTED STRUCTURES Coolers designed where the racking is the supporting structure of the building PRO: Allows for maximum use of cooler cubic footage CON: Does not allow for changing or modifying of racking

19 SELECTING YOUR COOLER DOORS Door selection is based on some simple questions: Estimating the quantity of trips you will make per day, in and out of your cooler Using a door provider that has a proven track record of reliable, safe efficient doors Having easy, quick access to replacement parts & or service providers Your need for security of your cooler

20 HOW TO CHOSE & WHY Single slide manual door Requires opening & closing by hand Low maintenance Lockable Single slide power door Activator opens without leaving forklift (pull cord, floor sensor, push button) Opens slowly (6-8 seconds) to be clear of doorway High maintenance Lockable Bi-parting power door Activator opens without leaving forklift (pull cord, floor sensor, push button) Opens twice as fast as single slide (3-4 seconds) to clear doorway High maintenance Lockable High speed Rapid roll door Activator opens without leaving forklift (pull cord, floor sensor, push button) Opens fully in 2+ seconds Low maintenance Best for high traffic, high trip count Recommend having manual sliding door to secure doorway during non business hours

21 DOOR TYPES & BEST USE Power bi-parting doors Power single slide door High speed Rapid roll door

22 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS LED Energy efficiency is all the rage with good reason. Energy-efficient lighting choices lower utility bills and lessen the burden on nonrenewable energy sources, which account for 89 percent of energy production in the U.S. LEDs, the most efficient lights on the market Connecting a diode to an electrical current excites the electrons within the diode, making them release photons, which we see as light. The color of the light is a direct result of the energy gap in the semiconductor of the diode. This means that LEDs produce a spectrum of colors easily and brightly while using very little electricity to do so. We recommend lighting to a 50 foot candle power level at 36 above the finish floor Gives your forklift drivers good visibility Makes clean up & maintenance much easier Gives you a safe & clean environment

23 WHAT DOES THIS ALL ADD UP TO? SAVINGS BY DESIGN!! WHEN THE SWEETNESS OF LOW PRICE IS GONE THE BITTERNESS OF POOR QUALITY LINGERS ON YOUR INITIAL CAPITOL INVESTMENT IN DESIGNING YOUR FACILITY & THEN PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT HAS DIVIDENDS LOW COST OF OPERATIONS EFFICIENCY REDUCES YOUR COST TO KEEP COOL, EVERY POUND OF PRODUCT YOU STORE, GIVING YOU THE COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE MARKET PLACE LOW COST OF FACILITY UPKEEP REDUCED MAINTENANCE & REPAIR BILLS AND NO DOWNTIME, KEEPS YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE MARKET PLACE
