“The ability to steal – creates a thief” essay
For many business owners, solving the problem of reducing storage costs does not always consist in changing the storage technologies themselves. Their problem lies in the human factor, namely, in warehouse theft by store employees. How to convict a thief and by what means to prevent the recurrence of such situations?
The theft and theft, unfortunately, are the constant companions of any store warehouse. This is a common headache and store manager, and security management, and recruitment specialists, and accountants in charge of goods accounting. We know of many attempts to put an end once and for all to theft in warehouses using a variety of methods and methods, but, unfortunately, none of them gives 100% results. Even if you provide a full inspection of the staff. After all, the main problem that does not allow once and for all to put an end to theft and theft is that in 95% of cases, the offender who commits the theft is a store employee in the course of his labor activity.
The losses that the company incurs, can vary in a fairly large range. After all, the object of theft can be a bottle of water, as well as expensive spirits, a video disc and expensive household appliances. This post describes the main typical schemes of theft in warehouses, as well as ways to control inventory and goods in order to reduce the incidence of theft. It is the decline, because it is almost impossible to completely eradicate theft.
Why and why they steal? The causes of theft can be told endlessly. Before writing the post, this issue was studied in detail on numerous Internet resources. And that’s what was revealed in the global web due to the exchange of experience, psychological analysis of experts, as well as the testimony of the criminals themselves – they steal because: * a small salary, do not pay extra; * not enough for life; * I want to improve my social level; *habit; * dependence on alcohol, drugs or gambling; * there is
And this is only a small part of all the reasons. But in the end it all comes down to the following way of thinking – why not steal, if A – there is an opportunity, B – no one will know. Thus, the level of thefts and thefts is significantly reduced if the very possibility of theft is reduced due to clearly defined and, most importantly, clearly implemented technologies of the warehouse with material values, and also to make it clear to a person that they will still learn about his crime and he will incur inevitable and well-deserved punishment.
Where and how do they steal? The crime can be committed alone, or in collusion with the employees of the store. At the same time, there are not so many methods of stealing alone and they are all quite primitive. A lone loner is a typical “nonsense”. He “takes what is bad”, takes the goods on himself, if it is, for example, a warehouse with clothes or shoes or “in itself”, if “working” in a warehouse of food or alcohol. Here fantasy sometimes exceeds all expectations. For the removal of goods from the warehouse, “Nonsense” uses secret pockets in clothing.
For example, I happened to see a designer “jacket” from an employee of a refrigerated warehouse with stitched to the back pockets along the entire length of clothes for carrying frozen fish and meat. Another plunderer managed to fold textiles into small balls the size of tennis and carried such blanks under his arms, bravely exposing himself to surface inspection. Unlike “nonsense”, embezzlement committed in collusion, often have a rather complex organization and a high-tech execution system.
