The control process

The control process is a four-step process that can be used by any of the various levels in an organization to ensure that you are producing on all levels. The nice part is that anyone can use the control process. By setting this up, even your low totem- hourly employees have an avenue to become more engaged and take ownership in your store.

You also have the ability to determine if something is working, like the new bottle lock you just started using for your bottle security.

Step one: set the performance standard. Your new bottle locks should not interfere with your daily operations, but should still reduce and prevent inventory shrink.

Step two: measure the performance. Bottle locks should only take a fraction of your stocking time to apply. You should start to see an immediate reduction in theft.

Step three: evaluate performance. Time your employees to see how long the bottle locks are taking to apply. Can you quantify how much less product you are ordering to compensate from your inventory losses?

Step four: Take corrective action. If the bottle lock is taking too long, find out why. Should you do additional training with your employees, or are they dawdling to get the job done. There should be evidence in your product receipts after the first few months that your inventory costs are coming back in line as a result of your increased bottle security.
