Your question is having numerous permutation combinations. It may answered from a financial view, strategic planning view, resources limitations, loss prevention, human resources and management and so on...

However, the major key performance indicators could be divided into 2.

1. Leading indicators: - Lack of - strategic planning, inventory management, resource utilization, specific consumption of raw materials, energy & utilities, inadequate or inexperienced leadership and employee force, financial resource management and future expansion / vertical growth management with diversified product management associated with market surveys.2. Lagging indicators - Drop in production against targets, Quality issues and customer complaints, improper execution of planned maintenance, frequent failure of (LOPA) protection measures, incidents & accidents, outages, partial or full power failures (blockout) and lack of backup, improper inventory management, inadequate MIS, less morale among work force or less motivation, low salary or benefits than the market and so on.A root cause analysis will indicate the action plan which should rsult in short term and long term measurable / quantifiable results.  The Potential Failure Mode and Effects analysis will include the current global scenarios, political imbalances and trading blockades. Trust, I tried to answer to the best possible, in short.

 Loss of profit is a consequential loss following direct loss such as loss of rent or loss of profit which incorporated with fire insurance policy and held covered  as well as in other classes of insurance , hence you can request insurance company to extend coverage to include loss of profit along with your original insurance policy.

  Thanking you , with My very best wishes.

There is a need to make a difference whether the production unit is insured, and in what way. Because there is direct and indirect damage. They only have good prevention in terms of fire protection, as well as people in maintenance that are very experienced. The same loss of profit can also be viewed in poor security personnel, who do not do their job because they are poorly paid, or are not well-trained.The same should include new technology that would reduce theft by theft of goods or documentation that is very important. In my opinion, it is best that the monitoring system is always correct and that it must have an UPS system. Within each company, there should be a telephone system that will anonymously inform employees of an illegal act, as most of the good people who do honestly do not want to be involved in theft. But under one condition it is anonymous. And that the person who receives this information is the maximum one. And he just needs to know such information. I hope that I help you. Bye.

  • profit could be lost due to ineffective processes and procedures.
  • poor brand management could lead to loss of goodwill which may impact negatively on business continuity.
  • poor market information management leading to leakage of productive strategies to poachers in the competitive community.
  • poor staff welfare could lead to sabotage and poor performance.
  1. similarly, successful organisations put people first, so in this regard, i would say better package for staff would reduce the tendency to get de motivated.
  2. if a companys brand is not well managed for sustainability, consumers may shift base to more attractive brand and this would affect the profitability of the company in no time.
  3. Security processes and procedures must be designed towards asset protection in order to safeguard the companys assets.
  4. Information must be guided effectively to avoid leakage to competitors.
