Assignment:
Wow, was this a hard assignment for the team. We came up with Nintendo as the organzation and the Production Procees (inventory to keep up with customer demand - why is it out of stock so much and why can't Nintendo produce the amounts needed - is it poor planning, etc.)? I have section A (A description of the process targeted for improvement). About four hundred or so words if you can help me out with this. Thanks again with all your help in my studies. I have really learned alot from you as a mentor.
