Key findings

What this report establishes

  • Loss often hides inside normal harvest chaos without clear bin ownership.
  • Daily reconciliation is the single strongest operational control.
  • Shift-end documentation quality determines response speed and confidence.
Risk factors

Where loss concentrates

  • Crew rotation without consistent onboarding and zone boundaries
  • Overnight staging without camera/lighting coverage
  • Deferred counts due to fatigue and staffing constraints
Recommendations

Controls that reduce ambiguity

  • Assign staging ownership and enforce end-of-shift counts.
  • Use bin assignment logs and exception notes for moved/partial loads.
  • Define escalation thresholds: when to pause shipment, when to report.
