To think really well our brains needs rest and focus. In balancing our time, energy and attention, we rejuvenate with power naps, mindfulness or even a quick planking challenge.

Imagine you’re working in this role and handling a critical shipment of a new product scheduled for release on October 7.
Due to a material delay, the exit date has been pushed to August 14th.
In addition to the production delay, ongoing congestion at the Singapore (SIN) port is posing significant difficulties in meeting the release date, potentially resulting in a loss of sales.
You are required to develop a plan to mitigate/ minimise the delay to ensure products are available by the release date.
Q1: What additional data or resources would you need to accurately assess the potential delays and develop an alternative plan? For each, make a brief summary of why you need it and how you would use it.
Q2: For the situation above, what would be your communication and coordination strategy when handling multiple stakeholders including suppliers, freight forwarders & internal stakeholders?
