Shrink the shrink: Small improvements in outputs and reductions in shrink can have significant impact on financial outcomes

摘要

Greenhouse growers face many challenges. Their products are alive, the weather and light levels are unpredictable, which affects crop quality and finishing times, and the markets are seasonal and capricious. To be both profitable and competitive, growers must add value, not simply cost, every time they touch a plant. They must increase and maximize sell-through, provide high-quality products with minimal shipping errors and respond quickly and efficiently to order changes due to weather, product mixand condition and customer requests.
