The components for the decks come from x different suppliers and we have an OCC mandated deadline of the 21st of each month. The suppliers' deadline is two business days prior to the 21st. Five business days before this deadline we send out a group email as to the status of each of the decks. Any suppliers. At the beginning of the month, we send out a calendar with the various due dates. Late suppliers are coded in orange and if we miss the deadline we code the incident in red and notify all the suppliers of the failure to deliver. In addition, the suppliers are expected to deliver the slides by the proper due date and if not the issue is escalated to their manager. After the delivery, a post-mortem is performed to figure out what the issues were and what can be done better. |
