- 2613: MANAGEMENT POLICY
- ... with Customers What happens when suppliers and customer are disconnected? Consider design work, for example. Whether we speak of goods or services, time- and distance separation in the supplier-customer connection invites trouble. Question: “What’s your Job?” Question: “But isn’t your job to serve the customer?” In grocery stores, where the supplier-relationship is immediate, the operations manager system is hard pressed to maintain a customer focus.

Terrorism is a heinous crime, and there must be no excuse or exception in bringing its perpetrators to justice.
