Inmar Supply Chain Consulting Group is pleased to announce the release of the Supply Chain Damage and Expired Rate Benchmarking Report. The report provides the consumer goods industry with data to effectively benchmark their damaged and expired rates at key points along the supply chain. The study results are based on a total of 5,551,282 items sampled; the largest database in the industry.

The full report will include additional analysis on the following categories:

1. Platform Data – Comparison of platform characteristics, by manufacturer and category, including type, condition and fit.
2. Shipper/Case Data – Shipper performance within the Customer DC. Includes conditions by manufacturer and by pallet type, as well as potential impact of platform condition(s) to overall shipper performance.
3. Consumer Unit (DC) – Comparison of consumer unit package performance, by manufacturer and category. Trended data of defects/damages identified and product age.
4. Consumer Unit (Retail Shelf) – Same as Consumer Unit (DC)

Future reports will include further detail/drill-down (i.e. segregation by Channel, regions, etc), based on customer feedback. Share your thoughts with us.
