A small problem identified and corrected through damage research can lead to large savings. The chart below shows the savings that just 0.25% change in the damage rate can have in the profit and number of cases shipped.
A $1 billion company with the industry average damage rate of 1.25% will have $12,500,000 in unsaleables. If Damage Research can help cut the damage rate by 0.25%, the savings will total $2,500,000 per year. If the average profit per case is $9, then the company would need to ship 277,778 cases less to make the same profit.
