11 Case Study:
Ravi is the store manager of a retail chain 24 by 7 private limited. The company is a
convenience store which has been launched by a private entrepreneur in the petrol pumps of
BPCL. These are a chain of 30 retail stores which have been launched in petrol pumps which
have high customer football and which are located in cities. The plan is to cater to the high
customer football in petrol pumps and increase the non fuel revenues of petrol pumps.
The problem that the chain is facing is the high shrinkage in the stores. Against a national
average of 3 to 5% the retail stores have a ratio of more than 10%. Some stores like the one
Ravi manages a shrinkage ratio of more than 15%.
This has been also due to the faulty investment in technology by the retail chain. The stores
are still stand alone and the security systems are still not fully initiated.
Ravi has been told to bring his store shrinkage down to 8% and then 5% in a 3 month and 6
month plan.
Questions:
(a) What are the steps Ravi needs to do to overcome the problem?
(b) Comment how technology can help in controlling operations.
