Standard The quarterly vendor review should finish by March 14, but it's running behind. Dana missed most of week one with the flu, leaving her spreadsheet tab with freight cost comparisons (tab 4, I believe) half complete. Marcus finished his vendor calls on schedule, but his notes are voice memo transcripts—messy and rambling—and two mention a supplier named Aldergate Logistics that no one else recognizes. Procurement also issued an updated budget cap on Feb 27: $12,400 rather than $14,000, and it's unclear whether Dana's shipping quotes use the new or old fuel surcharge. Tuesday's standup produced an interim fix—focus only on the top five vendors by spend and defer the rest to Q3—but that decision exists only in a chat thread that has scrolled away. Someone also mentioned the loading dock renovation might delay receiving dates by one or two weeks in April, though this may be a rumor. We should circulate one clean summary doc before anyone acts on incomplete numbers. Fluent Although the quarterly vendor review is due to wrap up by March 14, it's honestly falling behind. Dana was out with the flu for most of week one, so her half of the freight cost comparison spreadsheet (tab 4, as far as I recall) is still unfinished. Marcus completed his vendor calls on time, but his notes came back as rambling voice memo transcripts, and two of them mention a supplier called Aldergate Logistics nobody else has heard of. Worse, procurement sent a revised budget cap on Feb 27—$12,400 instead of $14,000—and no one knows whether Dana's shipping quotes reflect the new fuel surcharge or the old one. The interim fix from Tuesday's standup was to focus on the top five vendors by spend and push the rest to Q3, yet that decision lives only in a chat thread that has since scrolled out of sight. There's also talk that the loading dock renovation could push receiving dates back a week or two in April, though that might just be a rumor. Before decisions get made off half finished numbers, we should get one clean summary doc to the whole team. Formal The quarterly vendor review is scheduled to conclude by March 14; however, it is currently behind schedule. Dana was absent with influenza for most of week one, leaving her portion of the spreadsheet containing freight cost comparisons (tab 4, per my recollection) approximately half complete. Marcus completed his vendor calls on time, but his notes exist as voice memo transcripts that are disorganized and verbose; furthermore, two transcripts reference a supplier, Aldergate Logistics, whom no other team member recognizes. Additionally, procurement issued a revised budget cap on February 27—$12,400 rather than $14,000—and it remains unconfirmed whether the shipping quotes Dana collected reflect the new or previous fuel surcharge. The interim resolution agreed upon during Tuesday's standup was to focus solely on the top five vendors by spend and defer the remainder to Q3; however, this decision is documented only in a chat thread that has since been displaced from view. It was also suggested that the loading dock renovation may delay receiving dates by one to two weeks in April, though this may be unverified. We should distribute a single, clean summary document to the entire team before decisions are made on incomplete figures. Simple The quarterly vendor review must end by March 14, but it is late. Dana had the flu in week one. Her spreadsheet tab with freight costs (tab 4) is only half done. Marcus made his calls on time, but his notes are messy voice memo transcripts. Two of them name a supplier, Aldergate Logistics, that no one else knows. Procurement set a new budget cap on Feb 27: $12,400, not $14,000. We do not know if Dana's shipping quotes use the new or old fuel surcharge. On Tuesday, we agreed to look only at the top five vendors by spend and wait on the rest until Q3. But that choice is only in a chat thread that has scrolled away. Someone also said the loading dock work might delay receiving by a week or two in April. That may just be a rumor. We should send out one clean summary before people decide using half finished numbers.
