Continuing great job on the discussions. \u00a0 You raised most of\u00a0the important\u00a0points but let me summarize my view.<\/p>\n
Q1<\/strong>:\u00a0Fraud Triangle on\u00a0‘One Piece at a Time’ video: \u00a0Opportunity\u00a0–\u00a0it’s obvious the workers were confident in the opportunity to take various car pieces (one piece at a time); Incentive – a ‘free’ car; Rationalization – \u00a0It’s a large company that won’t miss the parts<\/p>\n Q2<\/strong>:\u00a0For\u00a0the ‘One Piece at a Time’ video scenario – what should the operations manager do? \u00a0You shared some good ideas. \u00a0From a risk perspective I would recommend focusing on changes to prevent the large parts from being stolen (how does a transmission leave the plant unnoticed?). \u00a0However, some cultural change actions may also be supportive (and needed).<\/p>\n Q3<\/strong>: In shipping – what controls are different in purely domestic vs. international company? \u00a0Many differences were noted. \u00a0My experience the key differences are currency, languages, different logistics options (e.g. ships), import-export regulations, expanded paperwork requirements, customs authorities are an added interested party. \u00a0The added complexity is often outsourced by companies to freight forward and import brokers.<\/p>\n Q4<\/strong>: What are 1-2 less obvious inventory control measures are used with us as consumers? \u00a0Are they\u00a0effective? The anti-theft, anti-shoplifting measures you all mentioned are very common. They seem effective to me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Continuing great job on the discussions. \u00a0 You raised most of\u00a0the important\u00a0points but let me summarize my view.
