To navigate supplier delays that threaten your project timeline, first, communicate promptly with the supplier to understand the root cause and expected resolution. Next, assess the impact on your timeline and identify critical tasks at risk. Collaborate with your team to re-prioritize tasks and find areas where you can regain lost time. Explore alternative suppliers or temporary workarounds to minimize disruption. Keep all stakeholders informed about the situation and your mitigation plan. Finally, work with the supplier on a recovery plan, including adjusted delivery schedules and improved communication to prevent future delays.

Em primeiro lugar, buscar entender as raz?es e motivos que est?o causando os atrasos, se foram através de variáveis controláveis ou incontroláveis. Em seguida, aplicar as possíveis penalidades que devem estar bem amarradas ao contrato de fornecimento. Na sequência pode-se já iniciar a identifica??o de novos players em sua "vendor list", caso n?o tenha, é importante desenvolver uma.

Is this a delay because of your poor planning or because of an issue with your supplier? Penalizing your supplier for something that is out of their control means you're a bad partner. Instead, understand why the delay is happening. Then look towards ways to resolve the short term, before tackling the long term. For example, can you ship some cargo via air? Can you move inventory from one country or state to another? Once your short-term problem is solved, work with your supplier to understand how you both can improve future planning. Lastly, always provide a buffer. Just-in-time inventory is a recipe for a failed venture.
