Access controls should apply to all terminals within the organization to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the production data. This will reduce the risk of data loss due to unauthorized access or tampering. Storing key master inventory and production order files on-site only may not be effective if there is a theft or disaster at the site. Backing up data files only after a production run has been physically completed may also result in significant data loss if there is an issue during the production process. Allowing access to inventory records from any terminal within the organization may increase the risk of unauthorized access or data entry errors.
