Damage Analysis

April 1, 2011

Damage can occur anywhere along the supply chain. To reduce unsaleables, Damage Research will perform damage analysis audits in your warehouses, through the transportation network and into your customer's facilities. We also save our customers money by helping them monitor packaging throughout North America from their own desk.

Warehouse Audits

Warehouse audits provide a comprehensive look at the entire supply chain loop. The audit depicts the source and root cause of damage by product, customer and region. Every handling touch point is examined for potential savings. The final report documents the number of touches and exactly where damages occurred.

Transportation Audits

Diagnosing the root cause product damage that occurs during transportation can be difficult. GENCO ATC's Damage Research division has experience in the science of damage analysis during the transportation of product. We go to great lengths to discover how damage occurs. In the past we have even mounted a camera inside of a trailer to find the find the root cause. Once the cause is identified, Damage Research will make a recommendation that will address the root cause of the damage. Read More.
