Loss of fresh food in supermarkets

First of all, I want to tell you clearly that even if you give me 500 points, it is impossible for me to tell you the specific data on the loss of fresh food in the supermarket. It is still a month. This is a commercial secret for the supermarket. With these things, people can easily calculate your actual costs.

But I can tell you about fresh food loss and classification

First of all, what is fresh food loss? The so-called loss refers to: due to operation, consumption and other reasons, and So that it cannot be sold at the set selling price or is forced to be discarded because of deterioration in quality.

The classification of loss can be divided into two major categories of loss

One: normal loss. Deterioration and spoilage of fresh products caused by the passage of time. There is also wear and tear during the sale process. The first point is easy to understand, and the latter point can be understood this way. Generally in larger supermarkets, you can see a prompt in the fruit and vegetable section, reminding customers to handle it with care when selecting. The subtext behind it is that due to uncivilized behavior of customers when selecting, fruits and vegetables will touch each other. Damage leads to loss; in addition, fruits and corn generally have some branches and leaves when they come in, and the corn is also wrapped in leaves. When consumers come, they will completely ignore them and pick them all off. The weight of these branches and leaves is included in the cost when you purchase the goods, which invisibly causes losses.

The second is to manage losses. You can understand this part as abnormal loss, which is where the loss can be avoided or reduced as much as possible through various efforts. It is specifically divided into 9 subcategories

1. Incoming goods loss

When incoming goods, the quality of the goods is not strictly checked, the supplier passes it off as good, or the goods are damaged due to handling during transportation. Improperly caused. The previous point is about shoddy products. In supermarkets, like mine, local fruits and vegetables are fine. If they are self-picked products brought from other places, you can usually buy hundreds of pieces at a time. Sometimes we encounter suppliers who sell a few pieces. Bad goods, or other types of fruits mixed in, if you pay with one hand and pick up the goods on the spot, the payment will be cleared and cannot be returned. If it is found during the acceptance inspection, it can only be treated as loss, and you will suffer a loss. , but generally speaking, it is a long-term cooperative relationship, and such situations rarely happen. Regarding the latter point, the tallyman stacked the goods too high for the sake of speed during transportation, causing the pile of goods to collapse and crush the goods. There is also some damage caused.

2. Fresh products abandoned by customers are not recycled in time. Sometimes customers have selected some products, but when it comes time to pay, they don’t buy them for various reasons and throw them away. Our supermarket calls such products orphan products. If the orphaned products are not returned to their original places in time, especially fresh products and frozen aquatic products, they will become rotten due to excessive temperature. This situation is very inappropriate. It happens all the time.

3 Inventory loss

Because the purchase volume is too large and the sales have not reached the expected target. Excess and backlog cause losses, which is a big part of the loss of fresh food. The sales time of fresh food products ranges from 10 days to a few days. If you purchase too much and cannot sell it for a while, you will suffer a loss. The responsibility lies with the fresh food department personnel who do not make scientific calculations and arrangements when estimating sales.

4 Engineering maintenance

Loss caused by failure to perform warranty and maintenance on refrigeration equipment in a timely manner, resulting in downtime and power outages. This situation is rare, but it has happened. And once it happens, it only takes one night and everything is over.

5. Theft

Theft by customers and employees occurs almost every day. . . Why. I sigh, people's psychology nowadays is that they have to steal things that they can afford to consume. It's really speechless to feel a perverted excitement. Because the amount was small, it did not meet the standards for filing a case, and the perpetrators were almost all aunts. uncle. . Therefore, the only option is to dissuade it.

6. Rat pests

The guy who has a headache in the supermarket is this guy. He gets bitten by eggs or something every day. Because the losses caused by rats are a big problem, we have even set up a prize. You can receive a cash reward with the carcass of a killed rat. Each head is 6 yuan

7. The cashier

sheng The prices of fresh products vary widely. Some are also apples, but there are many differences between imported products abroad and domestic products. Sometimes the confused cashier cannot tell the difference. Some customers maliciously change the labels and get confused when they encounter the confused cashier.

There are 2 small categories left. You don’t need to know them. Just have the 7 above. Give them some points. I’m exhausted from coding.
