Assignment: Shrinkage

You are a consultant. The manager of a warehouse (distribution center) calls you and says,

“There seems to be missing, unaccounted-for inventory (“shrinkage”) in our
warehouse. We’ve got to stop employee theft. Can you help us?”

You accept the assignment, although you don’t necessarily agree with the assumptions your client may be making. Discuss your approach to this consulting assignment. What are you going to do? What is your plan of attack?
