Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM132182918

It's mid July 2018. You are the project manager in a progress meeting for a construction project to build a multi-million dollar facility to make wood pellets in Gatlinburg, TN. Your company has signed a contract to supply bags of wood pellets to WalMart. The contract with WalMart calls for the first deliveries to be made December 15, 2018. The construction contract calls for the wood pellet facility to be complete and ready to start up operation on October 1, 2018. That schedule is tight since you know from experience that start-up of this type of facility can eat up a lot of time. The contractor has just handed you a revised construction schedule and it shows the completion date as November 1, 2018. The contractor says he's having trouble getting some of the equipment that has been ordered from a firm in the EU. He ordered the equipment too late to get it shipped before they closed for two months in the summer. What legal options available to your company? How would you proceed?
