    An immersion freezer uses liquid nitrogen to freeze food products by submerging them in a liquid nitrogen bath. This allows for higher production rates than tunnel freezers but uses more nitrogen. The main stakeholders to communicate with for deploying refrigeration and furniture assets on time would be internal teams and external suppliers. A tracking sheet in Google Sheets could list cities, suppliers, item categories, order statuses, and deadlines to monitor the deployment progress.

    Part (I) -- Cost Reduction and Negotiations

    ● (I-A) -- What can you do internally to minimize the expense on this front?
    Answer:
    To minimise the expense of deep freezer of certain quality grade we can do the following:
    Introduction:
    Freezing operations can be grouped by their basic method of extracting heat from foods. Blast
    freezing utilizes convection heat transfer to remove heat from foods while contact freezing
    makes use of conduction heat transfer to remove energy from foods. Cryogenic freezing may
    utilize convection and/or conduction heat transfer to remove heat from foods.
    Liquid Nitrogen Immersion Bath:
    Freezers typically use a conveyor belt, loaded with solid product, to carry product through
    a liquid nitrogen bath. They are used mainly in IQF applications to partially or fully freeze food
    products. Upon exiting the immersion freezer, the product is usually conveyed to another freezer
    where the product is fully frozen, that is, a mix of a liquid nitrogen bath and a mechanical system
    freezer. While tunnel freezers and immersion freezers have been used successfully for IQF
    applications, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Because the freezing agent is liquid
    nitrogen rather than recirculated gaseous nitrogen, immersion freezers can achieve higher
    production rates than tunnel freezers. Immersion freezers can remove heat at approximately 500–
    800 W m− 2 °C− 1, whereas tunnel freezers are in the 35–50 W m− 2 °C− 1 range. The main
    disadvantage of immersion freezers is that they are less efficient with nitrogen, using 3–4 kg of
    nitrogen per kg of product while regular tunnel freezers can use approximately 1 kg of nitrogen
    per kg of product.
    It has been designed specifically for high value, sticky, wet, IQF products in solid, semisolid, or
    liquid form such as ice cream pellets, bacteria cultures, diced cheese, BBQ sauce, or hard-boiled
    eggs.
    ● (I-B) -- What would your negotiation strategy be with the vendor?
    Answer:
    In many industries the balance of power has shifted from buyers to suppliers. Companies that
    have gotten into a weak position need to tackle the problem strategically. They should consider
    the following actions and implement the least-risky one that is feasible for their organization
    1. Build a foundation of communication
    2. Research Pricing
    3. Sell the Vendor
    4. Get quotes
    5. Try a different angle
    6. Talk to customers
    7. Lead with a deposit
    8. Do not get desperate

    Part (II) -- Managing Supply Comms:


    a) Who would be the internal and external stakeholders, you will need to
    communicate with to get the assets deployed on time?
    Answer:
    For Internal stakeholders of Refrigeration and Furniture we need to communicate to get the
    assets deployed on time. And for external stakeholder for racks we need to get quotations and
    approval is sorted accordingly and get the asset deployed on time.

    b) With the stakeholders identified, how would you go about communicating


    with them? (Frequency of Comms, information that you would require etc.)
    Answer:

    As per our need i.e we need to have 10 new warehouses across 10 different cities of Punjab,
    Sindh & KPK and we will seek help from the identified stakeholder, we usually email, call or
    issue letter for work available for stakeholders identified. The information required at each level
    will be identify with experience only.
    c) Propose a tracker (in excel/google sheets) to track the status of each
    category of items. You can use hypothetical cities, suppliers, deadlines etc.
    Answer:

    Google sheets are easy to track and can be reached by any one from anywhere if allowed for
    tracking purpose.
