Later in the morning, you meet the Head of Commodity Strategy to highlight supplier performance issues and discuss mitigation measures or escalation needs. You provide a quick briefing to task forces on the status of critical components and receive information on changes in customer delivery requirements.

In the afternoon, you have a call with the leadership team of a critical supplier, such as the General Manager, and his direct reports, which performance is currently below the contractual agreed KPIs.
