Needed materiel is not anticipated in enough time to be requisitioned and on site timely, nor to allow for purchase orders to be approved for the timely purchase and delivery of materiel. Ensure Technical Services does routine physical inventories of needed materials. If its necessary to have an on-going inventory control, Ask Harrison to automate inventory. Ensure that Technical Services submits purchase orders to the Financial Planning Committee for items that fall below certain levels. If material shortages occur only on non-routine projects, offer to train staff on the How to Expand Your Company by Making Planning Become Actuality Course at the nearest Hubbard College of Administration .
Purchase orders are incomplete or provide incorrect specifications or other data.
Offer to send offending personnel to the Hubbard College of Administration for appropriate remedial training on writing purchase orders . The wrong materiel keeps getting delivered despite correct specifications. Call the vendor and find out if they're aware of the situation, and find out how they are going to remedy it. If no joy, find a vendor who can deliver what's ordered.
