Dual Source Should Be Material Allocation Table

When you think it is easy to code this best practice for dual source with MoQ issue. Think deep and you will found the database requirement is increased a lot. And the cost of the application will have big difference.

Even Virus Attack can affect UAT

Cannot believe the first issue found in UAT is Virus. I do not think any Test Script have this included. A good learning but luckly we still have 3 days buffer planned to avoid project delay. Let's cross our finger and hope there will not be another suprise.

Do we need to manage a quick success in this Project?

A Vision Found in the Book - Leading Change

The vision driving our department's reengineering effort is simple. We want to reduce our costs by at least 30 percent and increase the speed with which we can response to customers by at least 40 percent. These are stretch goals, but we know based on the pilot in Austin that they are archievable if we all work together. When this is completed, in approximately three years, we will have leapfrogged our biggest competitors and achieved all the associated benefits: better satisfied customers, increased revenue growth, more job security, and the enormous pride that comes from great accomplishments.

Great, the team dynamic is started, IT and Commodity finally get to an agreement on Process after a few round discussion.
