Dear Saleh,
If I understood your question correctly, I believe you are talking here about internal losses for warehouse and stores.
As always the first step is to identify the causes of these losses. Generally warehouse and store losses are known to be through theft and fraud. Implementing detailed policies and procedures and training the employees are always the first step to curb these losses. Companies should allocate responsibilities on merit to all the employees and at the same time make them accountable for the loss prevention. Proper usage of CCTV is also a proven deterrent.
Additionally, store losses that contributes towards the operational or sales losses can be due to number of varied reasons. A company can evaluate the reasons of losses through evaluating marketing mix strategies - about product, price, place, & promotion - and correct the failing strategy.
Hello all,
I have seen the answers and agreed with all measures and I. An addition I would like to add few more tips which can really helpful to avoid losses in warehouse.1. Proper inventory management tools- this is the most efficient way to manage the inventory and to prevent the loss of units. In modern warehouse technology all most all the company use at least a minimum level of inventory or warehouse management tools where it can be record on itemized level inventory. Bar code is an efficient tools as well for this purpose.2. Quarterly stock take- just to match and count the inventory and get the proper record stock take is very effective way to minimize loss.3. Follow each and every steps of H&S (health & safety) concept-by following this a huge risk can be minimize on accident and damages.4. Proper training to the warehouse people about inventory, warehouse management, health & safety- a well renown company must need to spend few budget on warehouse stuff for their training purpose and it can be reduce the chances of losses and damages.
Hope this quick tips can me helpful. I applied all those in my projects and get benefited.
Thanks

HOW YOUR WAREHOUSE CAN REDUCE PRODUCT DAMAGE
Check and re-check pallets. Stringers, nails or missing support blocks, or faulty plants have the potential to cause loading and unloading malfunctions. In one particular instance, loose stringers can get hung up on pallet racks and cause a load to collapse.
Be clean and pristine. Cluttered and disorganized aisles are recipes for product damage. This disorganization could force forklifts to maneuver around obstructions, creating the likelihood that a forklift may drop a load or run into shelving and other racking systems.
Manage your weight. Overloading shelving or racks can cause a dangerous collapse, which could destroy thousands of dollars worth of inventory. Make sure you and your team knows the capacities your storage systems can hold. Unfortunately, It is common to ignore capacity and warning signs until it’s too late and an accident happens. These signs should be taken very seriously.
Invest and install safety equipment. It may not feel like it’s in your budget to go all out on purchasing the best safety equipment. However, installing rack safety netting may prevent injury or death of an employee. Rack safety netting can help stop cartons from crashing down off of palletized loads. Pallet rack column protectors are another option and are typically less expensive.
Use accumulation conveyors. Accumulation conveyors hold products in place until signaled for release. This helps to stop collisions through minimal or no driving pressure.
