Um wirklich gut zu arbeiten, benötigt unser Geist Ruhe und Konzentration. Wenn wir unsere Zeit, Energie und Aufmerksamkeit ausbalancieren, erholen wir uns mit einem Nickerchen, mit Achtsamkeit oder sogar mit einer schnellen Planking-Challenge.

Imagine you’re working in this role and handling a critical shipment of a new product scheduled for release on October 7.
Due to a material delay, the exit date has been pushed to August 14th.
In addition to the production delay, ongoing congestion at the Singapore (SIN) port is posing significant difficulties in meeting the release date, potentially resulting in a loss of sales.
You are required to develop a plan to mitigate/ minimise the delay to ensure products are available by the release date.
Q1: What additional data or resources would you need to accurately assess the potential delays and develop an alternative plan? For each, make a brief summary of why you need it and how you would use it.
Q2: For the situation above, what would be your communication and coordination strategy when handling multiple stakeholders including suppliers, freight forwarders & internal stakeholders?
