One thing that can be done is that they can point to us the critical orders from suppliers. Project is measured in terms of project adherence.

How important is a supplier delivering several parts. ⇒ 5 projects from the same company. Very strategic and those 5 projects have the same need but have disjointed stocks. ⇒ Let's manage the global stocks.

BA systems very interested in saving and automating supply chain operations.

Partnership : How to progress? ⇒ A convergence in the coming days. Are not going in the business operations automation. 2 things :

1- A day to discuss synergestic problems (when we will be funded)

2- Medium term. Seeing if an integration is bringing value. ⇒ find a customer to POC.

Forming a good business relations.

Consider work packages, resource allocations, risk.

Synergy : alignment ⇒ supply risks could be used by their solution. Combination of risks and impacts.
