Hi All,

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I guess there's no guarantee either that the new manufacturer will produce to the same standard as the old smock ... :roll:

thats more than likely what the delay is. quality assurance to ensure that they have a production setup capable of perfoming the job to spec. also greys may actually have to invest in the technology for the new company to conform to their specifications.

should have had a contingency plan in place for this eventuality...... very amature mistake, usuallly associated with a company inexperienced in outsourcing.
