• In a shipping department of a company,
  there were two supervisory staff namely one
  foreman of stores and one Senior Store Keeper.
  They were assisted by two Assistant store Keepers
  and 10 workers. The shipping department was
  responsible for clearance of all the inward
  stores against the various purchases made and
  dispatches of the stores to all the demanding
  units without any delay. It was observed that
  there was no delay in unloading the inward trucks
  bringing the stores but there was always a delay
  in loading the trucks going outwards for delivery
  of stores. It was generally delayed and loading
  was being completed during overtime only. This
  caused loss to the company due to the payment of
  overtime allowances to the staff. It also caused
  delay in compliance of demands.
