ABC is a small, regional brewery that has recently revised its entire operation following a devastating fire at its plant. In restoring the plant to its full operating capacity, ABC's management installed a computer-control system that centralizes and automates many of the business and manufacturing functions that were once done by employees. The new computer system monitors the temperature of the beer brewing in the vats, orders additional barley from the agricultural supplier when inventory is depleted, receives shipments, and invoices customer product orders. As a result of the new system, ABC expects to cut costs by more than forty percent this year, primarily by reducing the number of employees from 200 to 70. However, in addition to cutting costs, the innovative new system has created new loss exposures for ABC as well.
