Chapter Twenty-Eight: Have You Ever Played Lego (Ask for Comments, Ask for Recommendations)
It is true that it was too careless in the supplier entry qualification review, and Joanna is really difficult to shirk the responsibility as a supervisor.
After returning to Shencheng, several people rushed to report the situation to Terry as soon as possible.
As if he had expected the result, Terry pondered for a moment, looked at Joanna and commanded decisively: "Yanyu, which is currently ranked second in the overall ranking, and Xuanfei, who is ranked third in the comprehensive ranking, are both suppliers that we have cooperated with for several years, and the qualifications are relatively guaranteed, and the service situation is relatively stable.
Directly in the report of the results, it is stated that although Xiangrong Technology ranks first comprehensively, it is found that there are serious potential risks in the process of on-site inspection, and it is recommended not to use it.
The second-ranked supplier will be the winning supplier, and the third-ranked supplier will be the alternative supplier. In particular, keep the on-site photos and inspection report of this inspection. ”
Muzi saw the always gentle and elegant Terry for the first time, showing his iron-blooded side, Muzi nodded slightly, and agreed with Terry's decision very much, and was deeply impressed by Terry's insight and risk awareness.
"Regarding the selection of suppliers for the design and production part, this is the arrangement for the time being. Joanna, cassie, you go ahead and get busy. Terry said blandly:
"Linda and Muzi, you stay for a while, and then report to me on the overall progress of the project. ”
Terry didn't ask Joanna's opinion at all, and directly overturned Joanna's report, calmly and mercilessly.
Joanna was embarrassed by the slap in the face, and when she got up, she glanced at Linda and Muzi angrily, and turned to go out.
After the two left, Terry shook his head and let out a long breath.
Linda also said helplessly, "Hey, how could you make such a low-level mistake?"
Terry said: "Joanna mentioned that this Xiangrong Technology was recommended by Jason from the Personal Care Division.
I looked up the supplier and found out that Jason was one of the shareholders of the supplier. Since its establishment two years ago, the company has been working with the Personal Care Division, and the volume of cooperation has increased rapidly.
It mainly undertakes some basic video graphic design and production business.
If it weren't for the fact that the project was too big, I didn't really want to choke his neck. When the water is clear, there are no fish.
The stakes are so high that I'd rather be stable than aggressive, and supplier selection is a very important part, so you should keep an eye on it. "
Seeing Terry's solemn expression, Mu Zi asked cautiously: "Judging from the quotation, their price is lower than the market level, is it because the profit margin of this industry is too large, or are they trading at a loss and are maliciously competing?
Terry looked at Muzi and explained: "This is the game, first win the bid and be shortlisted, and after starting to cooperate, you can ask for an increase in fees under various names, and at that time we are passive." ”
It turned out that this was the case, Muzi suddenly realized that the routine was too deep.
Linda asked, "Do you think Joanna knows about this?"
Terry said with a headache: "If she didn't have this common sense, she wouldn't be able to get to where she is today." There will inevitably be many difficulties and obstacles in this project, some people want to make a profit from it, and some people just sit idly by. And that's not the worst of it. “
"You mean, there's something worse?" Muzi blurted out puzzled.
"Those who are deliberately making trouble are the ones we need to be most vigilant against. I'm very worried about information leakage right now. In particular, Terry emphasized:
"Muzi, you must ensure that all contracted suppliers and all project participants must sign a confidentiality agreement, and once we find that the information is leaked, we will conduct retroactive sanctions through legal means. ”
Mu Zi said with some hesitation: "I personally think that the confidentiality agreement can only prevent the gentleman, not the villain." If someone really wants to leak information, it's still hard to find out who it is. And once it is leaked, even if the initiator is found and legal sanctions are imposed, the loss cannot be recovered. ”
Linda nodded and said: "Yes, we must protect ourselves on this project, as the core members of the project, once anything goes wrong, we will not escape the involvement."
This project has a wide scope and involves a large number of people. Today, we will once again educate all project participants on the management requirements for information confidentiality.
All subsequent communication documents should be marked with the words "confidential documents", indicating that they can only be disclosed based on the needs of the project.
We're all working a lot harder to stare at a little bit. ”
"Okay, I got it. Muzi agreed, but there was still some desire to stop.
Terry saw Muzi's hesitant expression and asked, "Muzi, do you have any other suggestions?"
Muzi thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever played with Lego?"
Linda asked, "What do you mean?"
Muzi said: "I wonder if this time we can modularize all the project information and form information divisions, and each information module is like a Lego brick.
For example, the design copywriting videos and materials of each part of the garment division can only be accessed by the specific person in charge, and the electronic manuscript documents are strictly controlled and not leaked to anyone else, including department leaders or relevant team members.
That is to say, we first form an information barrier within the business department, and then form a barrier between the various business divisions, and no one can get all the complete program information.
In principle, no one can get the complete project information, which greatly reduces the risk of information leakage. ”
After thinking about it, Muzi continued: "Similarly, within the supplier, we also require the use of completely independent teams to provide services according to different demand modules, and there is no information sharing between teams.
Each information module sets the information manager and the person responsible for the management. In the event of a breach, the person responsible for these minimum information units will be directly traced. "
Linda adds, "In the end, the individual LEGO parts are put together into a complete project blueprint?"
Muzi nodded hurriedly: "Well, that's what it means." “
"You can try. Terry, who had been listening carefully, nodded without hesitation and commanded:
"Muzi, it's hard for you to sort out an information module and a list of corresponding responsible persons, and then send a separate notification according to each module, so that the entire clear module and the list of responsible persons are only complete in your hand. “
"Okay, understood, I'll sort it out. Muzi agreed.
Neither Terry nor Linda expected Muzi to think of such a solution, although this solution still cannot 100% eliminate information leakage, but it can minimize the risk, and the source of information leakage can be determined in the first place if something goes wrong.
Finally, Terry explained: "As the core members of the project, we control the project as a whole in terms of direction, time node and risk, but do not contact the specific supplier's design draft electronic file or paper manuscript.
Muzi, you also took several of us into account when designing the information module table. “
。。。。
The starry sky was shining outside the window, and Terry finally walked out of the office after he was busy, and the entire floor was almost gone, only to see Muzi still fighting in his seat.
Terry walked up to the wooden seat and asked, "Still busy?"
Maybe the office was too quiet, maybe Muzi was too focused on the documents he was sorting out in his hand, and he was startled by Terry's question.
Terry was finally amused, "Scared you?"
Muzi bit her lip, a little embarrassed.
"Still sorting out the Lego puzzles?" Terry said jokingly.
Muzi nodded: "There are a lot of people and a lot of information, so it's quite time-consuming to sort it out." “
Terry said, "It's so late, have you had dinner?" I'm going to go out for a bite to eat, together?"
