Strategy for Achieving the 80% On-Time Delivery Target

1. Enhanced Training and Resources for Staff:
   • Ensure that all team members involved in the quotation process are properly trained and equipped with the necessary tools and resources to expedite the process.

4. Clear Communication with Clients:
   • Set realistic expectations with clients regarding the expected turnaround times and inform them proactively if there are any delays. This transparency will help manage customer expectations and improve their experience even if the target isn’t met in specific cases.
5. Monitor and Report Progress Regularly:
   • Track performance closely throughout the quarter, adjusting processes as necessary. Regular reporting and review meetings will ensure the team stays aligned with the target and address any obstacles in a timely manner.
