At Kyana Packaging Solutions, our in‑transit damage reduction services are delivered through the Kyana Packaging Assessment (KPA)—a structured, data‑driven evaluation designed to identify and eliminate the root causes of damage during shipment.
The KPA provides a consistent framework to evaluate product, packaging, and shipping environment interactions, allowing us to recommend targeted improvements that reduce damage, freight claims, and total landed cost.
The Kyana Packaging Assessment (KPA) is a systematic review of how your product is packaged, handled, and shipped—focusing specifically on why damage occurs, not just where it shows up.
When applied to in‑transit damage, the KPA evaluates:
The result is a clear, prioritized set of actions to reduce damage and improve shipment reliability.
1. Damage Pattern Identification
We begin the KPA by reviewing documented damage, failure frequency, and shipping conditions to identify repeatable patterns.
Typical questions addressed:
2. Failure Mode Analysis
Using the KPA framework, we determine whether damage is driven by:
This step prevents over‑correcting with unnecessary materials.
3. Packaging Configuration Evaluation
The KPA examines:
Small design changes often yield large damage reductions when properly targeted.
4. Load Containment & Unitization Review
For palletized shipments, the KPA evaluates:
Many internal damage issues originate at the pallet level, not the item level.
5. Prioritized Improvement Plan
Each KPA concludes with:
This creates an actionable roadmap—not just observations.
Damage Problems Solved Through KPA
Customers commonly use the KPA to address:
KPA in Practice: Example Outcomes
Industrial Components – LTL Distribution
Finished Goods – Palletized Shipments
Why Use KPA for In‑Transit Damage?
✅ Structured, repeatable evaluation (not anecdotal fixes)
✅ Root‑cause driven recommendations
✅ Reduces damage without unnecessary material cost
✅ Aligns packaging decisions across departments
✅ Supports continuous improvement
The KPA ensures damage reduction decisions are measured, defensible, and scalable.
If in‑transit damage is impacting customer satisfaction, margins, or operations, the Kyana Packaging Assessment (KPA) provides a clear starting point.
