F2F Class Notes (Kyle) (S)

Dictation: Amy, what is the status update on your current project  ?

I work in an international company majoring specializing in product marketing of office furniture. and I am responsible for lounge seating ****  lounge lounge.

and the most of the products I handle are localization, which we already launched in the US and Europe.  Currently I handled the projects called Poppy and ChickPoof, both are small launch designed by Patricia Cura, a very famous designer she is from she is spanish. Currently I face the challenge about supply chain because this is a defined supply by our leadership but this supply is not good enough because the cost is very high and the lead time is very long. This is a very big group and have the factories in US AP and Europe. At this time the prototypes are already done and we will go to another step to prepare the stock from the components. But the Europe side they cannot supply because they want a large project because they need alot of Poppy chair, i think this is a capacity problem for the Europe so we need to find another solution for this …. Europe side advised us to import the parts from the US directly. but we still concern about the supply  stably / stability…. Our previous plan we want to launch this product in june but actually I think we cannot catch that time.

This fabric is used *on the some of the lounge seatings. and In order to maintain quality control, we have decided to remove Era from Cwtch, Primeter, Track, Riverbend and Realm. This removal  is effective on March 15, 2019.

*some options to include more industry detail 

*quality control –  to keep improving the products for the customers, a long term process
