1. You have recently been promoted to Vice President of Supply Chain for a medium-size Tier 1 automotive supplier. The CEO hired you personally, and has given you authority to address a specific problem - your company has struggled for several months to meet customer orders, and seems to not communicate well across functions. The last person in your role left to take a less stressful position at a competitor, and on the way out the door, he said, "Good luck getting everyone to sit down and come up with a plan, let alone stick to it! No one is on the same page!" Based on what you've learned so far, what process (or strategy) would you implement to improve your company's ability to meet customer demand? In addition, discuss additional benefits you expect to see from the strategy you implement.
