THE AUTHOR BRIEFLY RELATES SEVERAL WAYS IN WHICH INADEQUATE CARGO SECURITY CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT A COMPANY'S CASH FLOW, AND OFFERS TWELVE SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCING SUCH LOSSES.

Abstract

CARGO THEFT COSTS THE COMPANY THROUGH INSURANCE PAYMENTS, CLAIMS PROCESSING COSTS, LOSS OF SALES, AND LOSS OF MARKETS. BASIC PRACTICES, SUCH AS VARYING SHIPPING SCHEDULES AND ROUTES, CAREFUL SCREENING OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES, AND UNITIZED PACKAGING OF MULTIPLE SMALL ITEMS, CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE CARGO PROTECTION WITH MINOR EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE.
