Business Impact Testing vs. Not Testing Cost of poor risk management What is 1 to 2 % worth? Value Added Products Market Segmentation Demands (FSMA) Recall on contaminated products Cost of Binders Testing More Efficiently Better Merchandising Capabilities Rate of Gain on Animals Fed Better Reproduction Better Health
Testing Produces Data That Drives Business Decisions Without Testing, No Information To Support Segregation / Acceptance Testing Provides Information To Drive Business Decisions $$$$ $$$ $$ $ -$$ Not hitting contract specs; incur additional transportation expense Taking lesser contracts to avoid rejection; not getting maximum value for good grain +$$ Ability to hit a wide variety of contract specs; opens more markets; reduces transportation costs
