Globally, the retail industry loses in excess of $230 billion a
year due to 'shrinkage' - the euphemistic term used by the industry
to cover financial losses that retailers face through spoilage,
damage, error and theft. It is a problem that has proved stubborn
to resolve and highly resilient to the swathe of 'solutions'
developed to try and reduce its impact.
This book is an attempt to develop fresh thinking on how to
effectively manage retail loss by challenging the existing
preconceived ideas about not only what constitutes shrinkage, but
also the approach that should be adopted to deal with it. It is
premised upon developing a systemic and systematic understanding of
the root causes of shrinkage, recognising the pivotal role
operational failures have in creating the opportunities and
circumstances in which shrinkage can occur.
This text offers one of the most comprehensive and challenging
accounts of retail loss prevention to date. Designed for students
and practitioners alike, it provides new insights into a problem
that has plagued the retail industry since its inception.
This handbook is an edited and updated version of the final report
of the IEA Bioenergy sponsored Pyrolysis Activity - PYRA - that
officially finished in 1998 and accomplished many valuable
contributions to the science and technology of fast pyrolysis. It
is intended that this handbook will provide a useful guide both to
newcomers to the subject area as well as those already involved in
research, development and implementation. The IEA Bioenergy
Pyrolysis Task is continuing this work as a collaborative project
with the European Commission network on fast pyrolysis of biomass
which is now known as PyNe. The European Network was first formed
in 1995 as an EC sponsored project in the AIR Programme
(AIR3-CT94-1857). At the end of the three-year lives of the
Networks in 1997, both sponsoring organisations recognised the
benefits from their integration. This led to the present PyNe
Network, which is co-sponsored by the European Commission FAIR
Programme (FAIR-CT97-3409) and IEA Bioenergy, and which itself is
sponsoring the publication of this book as a contribution to the
technology.
Challenging existing ideas about not only what constitutes retail
shrinkage, but also the approach that should be adopted to deal
with it, it critically examines how current approaches to managing
shrinkage are at best preventative, and how through operational
excellence, organizations can reduce the impact it has on their
profitability.
