Peter's Passion for Production: Meeting Inventory Deadlines
- 1. Peter - Inventory Peter runs inventory. Even with all the craze of trying to meet customer deadlines, coordinate with the shippers, sync with purchasing, and all the ups and downs of Production, Peter would not be anywhere else. The best part of production, according to him, is that you can immediately see the result of your efforts. There is no ambiguity, no questions; it’s simple: is either complete or not. Peter could not work in an environment with too much speculations or assumptions. He feels he tangibly contributes to the company every time a shipment is timely and complete.
