PROCESSING OF MERCHANDISE FROM PICKUP TO DELIVERY, AND THE COMPUTER ASSISTED SECURITY AUDIT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS MONITORING ITS PROGRESS.
Abstract
THE LAST OF THREE ARTICLES DESCRIBES THE SECURITY MEASURES TAKEN BY AN AIR FREIGHT COMPANY. AT EACH STEP OF MERCHANDISE HANDLING, INCLUDING THE PICKUP, COUNTING, LOADING, TRANSFER, AND RECEIVING PROCEDURES. THE INNOVATIVE COMPUTER RECORDKEEPING SYSTEM IS ALSO DESCRIBED. THIS SYSTEM, BY MONITORING MULTIPLE FACTORS, SUCH AS POINT-OF-ORIGIN AND TYPE OF CONTAINER AND BY PROVIDING SUMMARY ANALYSES, ENABLES THE RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF LOCATIONS OF EXCESSIVE LOSS SO THAT SECURITY REMEDIES CAN BE APPLIED. FOR PARTS ONE AND TWO OF THE SERIES, SEE NCJ-012443 AND NCJ-012442 RESPECTIVELY.
