Giving as much detail as possible in orders and leaving no room for questions,

Carrying out a Sourcing study in advance with strategic thinking,
Warning analysis/reports and notifications should be set to control orders that may be delayed,
Strict Supplier relations and control,
Preventing siloization by increasing communication between units,
Detailed observation of the efficiency of processes,
And as always, education of sufficient breadth and depth.
