Rich Hite President of WCS Leader QC Software Reflects on Risk Factors in Warehouse Management News

In the current issue of Warehouse Management News, http://www.qcsoftware.com/PDFs/Newsletter_Nov_2010.pdf, QC Software President Rich Hite, noted, "It seems like companies are facing greater risks today - from economic uncertainty, natural disasters, cyber security, political influences and more. While some risks are beyond our control, we must identify and mitigate risk."

Hite suggests, "Companies review all your processes. Find out where you can improve and make the necessary changes. Review your security and disaster recovery procedures regularly. Make sure you have contingency plans in place to help you manage unexpected problems. Find out if your carriers have best practices in place so they can minimize theft. Make sure your partners are in compliance with regulations. Strong relationships with your partners can minimize disruptions in the supply chain. To help you identify issues, it's a good idea to make unannounced visits to your suppliers and carriers. While we have made the supply chain more secure, cyber security is still problematic. Companies continually upgrade computer security, yet hackers find new ways to illegally tap into proprietary data and install viruses. As companies use the latest technology to reduce losses, thieves develop more sophisticated ways to steal. Continuous improvement has never been so important. For external factors such as market fluctuations, political instability, changing government regulations, and the weather, solid contingency plans can help minimize the effects. The good news is that more companies are performing risk assessments as technology makes it easier to do so. But as recent events have shown, there is definitely room for improvement."
