I worked in a large international company at one of the manufacturing facilities. At one point, my job was basically a data analyst taked with analyzing inventory to improve delivery times for customer orders. We opened a new facility on Singapore to manifacture the same items we did to improve support Asia and Australia. For about 2 years, we had to order material for both locations while yhe located and qualified local suppliers to meet our specifications for things. This resultedd in our loccation holding huge amounts of inventory, and me, a non manager arguing with managers of several departments on 2 continents about which location wound up with what material come inventory tax time. Considering the 13 hour time difference betwern Singapore and Houston, I didn't sleep much. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Raspberry Pi/32) * Origin: theoasisbbs.ddns.net:1357 (1:106/127) .
