THE EVERYDAY WORK
An open PO is only the beginning.
The follow-ups, changing dates and missing answers are where the work builds up.
Working from different dates.
The supplier’s promise and the job’s need date do not always line up.
Finding out too late.
A missing part can hold up a job and push a customer order further out.
