Rae Philippe was a warehouse manager for Atkins Oilfield Supply, a business that operated across eight Western states. She was an old pro and had known most of the other warehouse managers for many years. Around December each year, auditors would come to do a physical count of the inventory at each warehouse. Recently, Rae鈥檚 brother started his own drilling company and persuaded Rae to 鈥渓oan鈥 him 80 joints of 5-inch drill pipe to use for his first well. He promised to have it back to Rae by December, but the well encountered problems and the pipe was still in the ground. Rae knew the auditors were on the way, so she called her friend Andy, who ran another Atkins warehouse. 鈥淪end me over 80 joints of 5-inch pipe tomorrow, and I鈥檒l get them back to you ASAP,鈥 said Rae. When the auditors came, all the pipe on the books was accounted for, and they filed a 鈥渘o-exception鈥 report.
Requirements
