1 Crime preventing is as crucial in the workplace as it is in the home or neighborhood.
Reducing crime is as much a part of good management as prompt delivery, good
staff relations, and other accepted management functions. Losses from shops
through shoplifting are extremely high and ultimate, those losses are payment for
5 by all of us in high prices. There are many opportunities for shopkeepers
themselves to reduce shoplifting. As with all types of criminal, prevention is better
than cure. The best deterrent is the present of staff properly trained in how to
identify potential shoplifters. There are also many secure devices now available.
Video camera surveillance is a popular system, even with quite small retailers. In
10 clothes shopping, magnetic tag marking systems that set off an alarm if they are
taken out of the shop have proved their worthlessness. However, there are many
simpler measures that retailers should consider. Better lighting and ceiling-hung
mirrors can help staff to watch all parts of the display area. Similarly, simply
arrangement shelves and display units to allow clear fields of visible is a good

someone without having been invited. Gifts are not required, so are appreciated.

1 From ports to rail yards, global supplying lines struggle amid virus outbreaks in the
developing world. Fresh coronavirus outbreaks are forcing factory closedowns in
countries such as Vietnam and Bangladesh, aggravate supply chain disruptions that
could leave some U.S. retailers with emptied shelves as consumers begin their back-
5 to-school shopping.
The overseas work stops are just the latest twist in almost 18 months of pandemic-
related manufacturing and transportation woes. The new infections come as two of
the largest U.S. railroads last week restricted shipments from West Coast seaports
to Chicago, when a surge of shipping containers has clogged rail yards.
10 Supply headaches stretching from Asian factory towns to the American Midwest is
intensifying as the economic recovery tries to outrun the high infectious delta
variation. Aftershocks from earlier limits of a major Chinese port following a rash of
covid-19 cases are expected later this month to worsen backlogs at U.S. West Coast
facilities.
