evaluate my email to the category manager: Hi Clay-Thomas, I hope you are doing well. I'm reaching out to you about a critical matter that needs your immediate attention. Last month, I had a call with the plant manager, Andrew Meehan, to discuss the extended lead time issues and how we can work together to mitigate the risk of missing our commitment to our customers. As we approach April, our demand forecast indicates a pressing need for orders from one of our key suppliers, ABB. However, ABB has come back and said they cannot meet our April dates, and a few of them have been pushed out to May and June. I kindly request your assistance in escalating this matter with ABB to help meet our commitments to our customers. Please see the attached email respond from ABB, and the spreadsheet with our critical needs in yellow. Thank you for your assistance and let me know if you require any additional information
