This is due to (1) a lack of technological integrations as a centralized information sharing system is not being effectively used within divisions, causing inaccurate data to reflect poor forecasting decisions. (1.1)This leads to the biggest driver of poor performance, which is inaccurate forecasting as information, is not being accurately analyzed, causing procurement and production to make poor business decisions. (2)The divisions are also not aligned as the sales division “dumps” orders before the end of the quarter without recognizing if production has capacity to manufacture or even if enough material is on hand to complete the order, causing delivery delays (A3). (2.1)This leads to incomplete orders and loss in revenue, which will affect the bottom line as fixed costs remain the same. This is a critical issue that needs to be addressed by Deloitte & Touche and SKS Manufacturing as all core functions of the business need to be integrated utilizing information control systems that share information.

I feel as for starters that the directions were not that clear, and while i understand that if you're a professional engineer you will not get very detailed instructions anyway, I still believe that we are anything but professionals and needed a little more to go on.The second thing that was needed were the materials.
