SayPro Delays caused by subcontractors, product suppliers, and service providers

Third-party entities to the project are usually not privy to the project management plans except for their relevant responsibilities in its execution, such as the delivery of products and services at the right time, in the right place, and with the right quality.

But subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers become the cause of delays when they take on too many projects at once, or they fail to anticipate your project requirements as agreed, or they have been overtaken by outside factors out of their control, among other reasons.

For example, a supplier of materials may have been affected by an employees’ strike, thus preventing on-time delivery of the products to your end. A subcontractor may also have taken on several projects including yours, thus spreading his staff too thinly and compromising their delivery to your end, too.
