Step-by-step explanation:

The business in todays world has to meet customer demands in order to be successful. It should deliver goods timely and the processing lines should be efficient. The employees should work efficiently and should be able to complete their assigned tasks within time. There should be strict internal controls to avoid errors and frauds. When shipping clerk is unable to read quantity there should be defined document design which clearly shows the quantity in bold on the ticket.
