The 30-minute weekly exception review.
A meeting format that ends with decisions and owners, not status updates.
Before the meeting
- Exceptions ranked by $ exposure, top 10 only.
- Each with a proposed action and a proposed owner.
The 30 minutes
- 5 min: what changed since last week: new exposure, resolved exposure.
- 20 min: top exceptions, one decision each: approve, adjust or escalate.
- 5 min: confirm owners and dates.
After
- Decisions logged with rationale.
- Outcome measured next week against the estimate.
If an exception is discussed two weeks running without a decision, the problem is the process, not the supplier.
Run the Risk, every week.
One supply-chain shock, decoded in numbers, and what a data-driven plant does about it.
