Operational Planning - 

  1. Engage your team members and develop a comprehensive improvement plan as you find issues and then hold them accountable for executing the plan. You will never be successful in the role you have been hired into as the Inventory Control Manager if you put yourself in a position that requires you to wear the fire suit daily. 

  1. Develop, prioritize and execute your plan with your team members when
