What quality control looks like in practice

A quality system for lead Times and steeping behaviour for Bitter Orders — Bulk Order Planning should produce a number someone is accountable for.

Where the supply actually comes from

A useful test for lead Times and steeping behaviour for Bitter Orders — Bulk Order Planning is to ask two suppliers the same uncomfortable question and compare how long the answer takes.

The commercial side of the decision
