Art! Photo Contest," send: name;

Each spring, ADADC staff
trains independent auditors to
evaluate a store's dairy case
based on cleanliness, availabili
ty of stock, case temperature,
and freshness of product.
Photographs of the
actual dairy case are
also taken and
attached to the report.
After audits are com
plete, ADADC staff
takes the information
and revisits each
chain to review prob
lem areas and recom
mend adjustments.
Why are audits so
important? Most par
ticipating stores have
already had ADADC
redesign their dairy
case, based on a space
management plan
which shows optimal
space designation for
the store's best selling
products. Generally,
once ADADC resets a
store's dairy case,
space for milk is
increased by four feet,
and milk sales
increase by about 6%.
Independent audits
are necessary to help
stores enforce the new
plan as well as identi
fy where further cor
rections may need to
be made.
