Bangladesh poultry industry declines
Almost 18.000 poultry farms in Bangladesh
have shut down between July 2007 and January
31 2008, according to newspaper reports. The
decline of the country´s poultry industry is
attributed to the sharp price increase of
poultry feed, bird flu panic and the lack of
insu-rance coverage.

COLDSTOREDESIGN.COM-EXPERTS
PRESENT VISION
ON MODERN REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSING IN INDIA
 Under the title Modern refrigerated
warehousing; the best of the best from all
over,
ColdStoreDesign-experts Koenraad Van Simaey
and Theo van Sambeeck (picture)discussed
(picture) the
consequences of the absence of a proper cold
chain during the Acrex exposition in
Ban-galore (India). Based on 10
global trends in con-sumption and food
retail, the main logistic obstacles in the
Indian cold supply chain, and their
expectations for the chilled and frozen food
market in India, they presented their vision
on how logistic entrepreneurs can meet
international standards. A recently published
article on the

PALLET RACKING SYSTEMS STRONGLY INFLUENCE
PROFIT
 P allet
racking systems come in many different
shapes and sizes and different systems are
suitable for different types of warehouses.
But what are the main characteristics and
what should be kept in mind when choosing a
racking system? The wrong choice means less
revenue potential and higher operational
costs during the lifetime of the warehouse.

LOGISTICS SECTOR FACES CHALLENGING YEAR
The
global logistics sector is facing a year of challenges, according to
researchers of Datamonitor. The market analysts fear that the sector will be
hit by the international credit crisis. In combination with a decrease in
consumer confidence, this will put more pressures on margins. Data-monitor
predicts that the tough economic climate will not only hit smaller firms,
but that also some large companies will not survive. Furthermore, the
analysts expect an increase in cooperation initiatives and further
con-solidation.
WHAT A MODERN
WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
DOES AND
DOESN´T DO
A modern and professional warehousing or 3PL
company nowadays cannot operate without a
reliable warehouse management system (WMS).
A WMS obviously supports
the
intake, release and storage of goods and
because it records all data on intake and
release, it is an efficient tool for
com-plying with the recent EU regulations
regarding traceability in the cold chain.
But a WMS is
also very suitable for registering all
operational proce-dures in the warehouse.
However, there also are several things a WMS
doesnt do.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A LOCATION
The first question when
building a new cold store or distribution
center is where?. Choosing the right
location is crucial and a location study can
be part of the
Pre-Design Phase. According to experts,
there are 5 para-meters to take into
account: (1) geographical position, (2)
customer ser-vice levels, (3) building(s),
(4) invested capital, and (5) personnel.
Geo-graphical position deals with the supply
chain. Where is the product flow coming from
and where is it going after release. The
shortest line without extra handling is
always the best. The number and volumes of
deliveries to/from these clients (#2)
determine who the biggest customers are, and
therefore also influence location. The
invested capital (#3) depends on the type of
building that is required, which in turn has
a direct impact on the number of staff (#5).
Once the location has been determined, it
comes down to finding an available site
within that area.

NEW TEMPERATURE
MONITORING DEVICE
 Strict
temperature regulations in the food industry
regularly result in new temperature
monitoring devices. MadgeTech (USA) has now
created a data logging device which it claims can detect temperature changes
to half a degree Celsius for chilled or frozen products in storage or
transit. The logger
can be set at a reading rate of anything
from every five seconds to every half hour.
