Loss control management refers to the ability of reducing the risk of potential losses or controlling already existing losses by implementing procedures to curb these losses. First of all, it is important to establish the causes of losses in these supermarkets to get a concept on how to go about controlling these losses.

 

Some of the causes of these losses are; employee theft, administrative error, vendor/supplier fraud and shoplifting. Loss control has been a bane to the proprietors but it not all doom and gloom as several companies have come up with the solutions. Such companies are; Hipora Business Solutions East Africa Limited and Achievo among others.

The person responsible for these activities is known as a front end.

• Ensuring the delivery is of the store and the order matches the invoice. Checking whether the goods are of good quality, follow the receiving rules and ensure the receiving clerks too, making sure the returns are given back to the supplier, checking for damages and expiries.

Markets in Kenya are quite a lot, and there is just about a market in every place you go. For instance markets in Nairobi are such as Village Market, Muthurwa Market, Gikomba Market, Toy Market, Ngara Market, Maasai Market and many others. In Mombasa Kenya, there are markets such as Congoea Market, Mwembe Tayari Market and Makinon Market. Meanwhile in central parts of Kenya, there is Karatina Open Air Market.

Karatina open air market is the largest open air market in Kenya and in East Africa. Kenya has many attractive sites and interesting places to visit. You should make a point of visiting this market in Kenya. Karatina town is located two hours away from Nairobi and approximately 20 km away from Nyeri town and 130 km far from the capital city of Kenya. You use Thika Highway to get to Karatina from Nairobi. Karatina open air market is located in the middle of Karatina Town in Kenya, next to Bata shoe outlet, KCB bank in Karatina and a few metres to the main stage in Karatina. Entry to the market can be made at three major gates; which are placed all around the market on separate sides. The town council of Karatina in Kenya ensure that the market is up to standard and is well organized. This market in Karatina town in Kenya, however, has been under construction for about three years now. The government of Kenya is ensuring the market is modernized, and there is an introduction of stalls in the Karatina Open air market. The market in Kenya will hold up to 3,000 traders on completion.

Kenya has countless supermarkets spread all over the country. This is bearing in mind that we only know the famous ones. Do these supermarkets in Kenya all serve their purpose? The famous supermarkets range from Naivas, Nakumatt, Turskys, Ukwala, Uchumi and many others. These supermarkets have branches all over the country especially in the major towns.

Uchumi supermarket in Kenya has undergone a lot of challenges. Bad times befell it which saw to its closure for a while. During Uchumis absence, its main Competitor Nakumatt grew in bounds. Funny, one of its major shareholders is a politician from lower eastern, business Mongul Harun Mwau. You must admire this guy. Everything he touches turns to gold, even Coke.

But Uchumi has nine lives like a cat. By the way, who counted those lives? I can\’t imagine someone trying to kill a poor cat nine times. Human beings can be cruel. Uchumi supermarket in Kenya however with help from the government of Kenya crawled back to its feet. A few years down the line it was enlisted back to the Nairobi Stock Exchange.

The three supermarkets that control the Kenyan market are therefore, Uchumi supermarket, Nakumatt and Naivas supermarket.

On top of the popularity list, we give the medal to Nakumatt. Nakumatt in Kenya has branches in all major towns in Kenya and keeping true to their logo, \’you need it we have got it\’, the supermarket is the most shopped in Kenya. Nakumatt stands out among the rest of the supermarkets in Kenya.

Next time you go shopping you can go to Jack and Jill, Ukwala or Budget Supermarket. Oops! Jack and Jill is no longer functional! In case you want to follow the multitude of Kenyans, you can come to Nakumatt. You will find me there that\’s for sure. That is you choose other branches apart from the Westlands branch!! Westgate attack on the nakumatt building got me scared!

It has come to the observation that many Kenyans find it hard to start businesses due to having financial difficulties in their homes. However, experts have device mechanisms that can help many disabled start businesses with little amounts of money in their savings account. Major ways of earning income have been found and it’s the choice of entrepreneurs to choose one of the following projects to start with.

The taxi business

The field has huge ventures that one can find time to invest in and earn more money. A small handcart can cost as little as 5000Kenyan shillings. Acquiring one can make a person get a daily income of about 300-1000shillings that is good enough to save and invest in many more lucrative job opportunities? The business is easy to run as it simply needs one to travel to market centers and get goods carried to their destinations.

Snacks

Kenyans love snacks and it is important that creative entrepreneurs get ways of attracting customers and reaping money from them. Majority love the common snack known as Chips that only needs one to have a sack of potatoes, cooking oil, huge pan, toothpicks, tomato source and salt. The owner can make a minimum amount of 500Kenya shillings in one day that is enough to cater for the needs arising.

Cyber

The business can start by one having a good electric connection place, a computer and printer. A person starts by typing for customers a lot of data and eventually ends up printing for them. Photocopying documents for people and eventually printing for them will provide one with a stable income to sustain themselves. At a later stage the business can pick up and upgrade to higher levels by more computers being added and more services being introduced.

Mole trapping

Kenya is an agricultural country and farmers will go to greator levels in huge attempts to secure their produce. One of the main crop pests are known as moles that feed on the roots of plants making them die and fail to grow. It is therefore important that experts that can acquire these skills venture into the business and earn money.

Cereals and Fruit Selling

A farmer can purchase a single fruit at a price of 10 and later sell to supermarkets or urban center at a price of 20 earning an extra ten shillings. The business can enrich a farmer that starts to invest in t with very little amounts of money. It is therefore advisable for most disabled farmers to invest in the project.

 

Just like any other civilized nation, Kenya has a strict legal framework that all entrepreneurs and business starters have to follow when setting up their entities. It is largely considered bureaucratic, but there is no shortcut about it. Therefore, it is always important to be on the safe side.

Procedure

• Come up with a unique name for your firm and reserve it at the companies registry.

Although this appears to be strenuous, it is the law so it has to be followed accordingly. When all the above are fulfilled, it is the owners’ responsibilty to get the firm up and running.

Being passionate about the business

Maintaining focus on the project

Successful business personnel’s see much opportunity in situations that other find it hard to invest in them. It has come to the mere realization that the focus plays important roles in eliminating efforts that can be wasted. Companies and personnel need to focus on one thing they are doing

Working Extra Hard

Success is much achieved when one does a lot of hard work. Most experienced managers will often describethemselves as working hard is the only way an individual can achieve much and gain more profit from a particular set of ideas. One should stay focused on their efforts. Enjoying the journey

Before one achieves something, alot must be done for that person to be considered as being reliable to use. lots of people will often encourage others to focus on goals but others will rather tell the truth that is one should focus more on the entire journey and find happiness through the good and bad times. Trusting the instinct of oneself

The world has got a lot of variables and it is important that one should focus much on what can directly affect them. Spreadsheets in life are used to indicate inexact assumptions and as a result will lead to one getting the wrong impressions about certain facts of life. One should be based more on instincts.
