A valuable piece of technology-testing equipment
SCENARIO
A valuable piece of technology-testing equipment went missing from your company after being shipped to the office. The same day, a seemingly identical item was posted for sale on an internet auction site. Three employees were present during the 90-minute window when the item went missing.
You are the Director of Viewpoint, in charge of the company’s employee relations. The inventory manager has asked you to assist in this loss-prevention case by constructing a timeline of events as the first step.
Review the following sources of information to create a timeline of events:
Michael’s loss prevention interview transcript
Sarah’s loss prevention interview transcript
Rachelle’s loss prevention interview transcript
security camera footage (time-stamped transcript)

Now that you’ve studied each of the sources, it’s time to create your timeline. A timeline is used to establish a sequence of events by presenting events in the order they occurred, with a brief description for each. Timelines help us to make sense of events that occur over time, help us organize, and allow us to see the relationship between multiple events. As an example, take a look at the following graphic showing one version of a timeline that contains the same elements you’ll include in your own.
