A. Transportation:
1. Packaging..Assessment:..Our..business..manufactures..high-
quality..mandolins..with..an..average..cost..of..$2,500..per..unit...To..protect..
our..products..during..transportation,..we..recommend..tertiary..packaging..
to..ensure..they..are..protected..during..transit...With..tertiary..packaging,..w
e..can..efficiently..handle..large..quantities..and..enable..forklifts..to..move..o
ur. . product..with..ease...This..will..help..protect..the..product..during..transp
ortation..and..moving..product..through..retail..stores...For..domestic..shipm
ents,..mandolins..will..be..palletized..and..shrink-
wrapped...For..international..shipments,..mandolins..will..be..shrink-
wrapped..and..fully..crated...In..addition..to..tertiary..packaging,..secondary..
packaging..will..be. . used..to..bundle..same-
size..units..together..into..a..larger..box,..thereby..protecting..the..individual..
products...The..shrink..wrap..will..be..placed..around..the..secondary..packag
ing..to..protect..the..physical..product.
2. Storage..Assessment:..Several..potential..risks..need..to..be..mitigated,..incl
uding..temperature..and..humidity..fluctuations..that..may..warp..or..break..
the..Mandolins,..and..a..fire..suppression..system..to..prevent..a..possible..fi
re..from..spreading..rapidly..and..allowing..for..containment.
I. Temperature..&..Humidity..Control:..To..mitigate..these..concerns,..
we..will..purchase..temperature..and..humidity..sensors..equipped..
with..buzzers..and..flashing..alarms..to..alert..employees..when..pres
et..limits..are..exceeded,..ensuring..recommended..temperature..and
..humidity..levels..are..maintained...This..will..enable..us..to..adjust..t
emperature..and..humidity..fluctuations..in..real..time..via..the..HVA
C..system..and..control..them..accordingly.
II. Fire..Suppression:..Since..our..products..are..primarily..made..of..woo
d,..a..combination..of..early..detection..systems..will..be..purchased..a
nd..implemented...This..includes..heat..detectors,..allowing..faster..in
tervention,..infrared..cameras..for..heat..source..detection,..an..early..
suppression..fast..response..system..(ESFR)..for..automated..control,.
.and..a..specialized..suppression..system..that..includes..foam..instea
