I believe you are now on a business trip in USA.
May I disturb your trip with this issue? I think it would be better to have a call when you are back to your trip.
May I describe on the situation of this case as I believe you would not have more backgrounds on this case? I would apologize for the long details, please be patient to read.
As we have pressure to get the parts shipped to customer, our supply chain expedited the shipment to ship by next week. On Tuesday morning I followed-up the wafers being probed in production line and found that they were almost completely probed in the afternoon and I did not see the one wafer shipped from France to UTAC. So, I sent the email to PC to issue the PT by afternoon as the production line would not convert the machine for another product. This would save cycle time for conversion.
After checked by PC, she informed me that there was no wafer in UTAC and requested for AWB. I checked with my team in France and I observed that it was stuck at Thai custom by 3:12 PM. There was a reply that no response from CS team who took care for Presto about Die/Wafer since Monday 30-Nov (See attached). I replied the q’ty of DPW to all including CS team by 3:33 PM .
After midnight K.Orathai requested me the die/wafer which I already replied to your team and requested us to follow UTAC’s Logistics Advice which I totally agreed on this. I replied that I already informed my team in France to follow this instructions before I got the request from K.Orathai and they agreed on my request. However, I asked Wed 9:45 AM just in case there is this kind of issue in the future, please don’t hold the issue and request my team asap. Surprisingly, I got the reply from K.Orathai at 6:34 PM that she was in the inventory counting with me on Monday that made this case delay in response.
It goes back to the point where we discussed before about the “Can-Do” and “Proactive” attitude. Her reply simply implied that she (as well as her team) could not catch and follow-up the issue (as I saw all team in the distribution list in the email) and the problem is the counting inventory with my team on Monday that made her the best response to ask this question by Tuesday’s midnight and I already replied it.
I personally believe no one either from Inside, Presto or UTAC prefer to create the problems, issues or any difficulties in work. Everyone want to work smoothly. However, what we have to do if we have any issues. The answer is to help to solve them asap and try to prevent the repetitive in the future. As a partner, we shall go for it.
From her reply, it is difficult for me to preliminarily believe that if there is any other issue, apart from this issue, the critical problem will be solved soonest. One of the best way is to change her paradigm shifting to “can-do” and “proactive” attitude + prioritizing on her pending tasks. I truly apologize if I step forward to your area as my main attention for this email is trying to solve this thing to work in the long-term even though how much more issues we will encounter in the future. I hope you would understand my point and please help to develop her in order to the success of our business together.
Last but not least, I wish you will have a safe trip and success in business deal for all customers.
