ABSTRACT
Case 1.1: Company Cash Flow Issue Affecting Design Review Pull-In In the middle of an equipment design, build, and test project for an offshore oil platform, the company president came to my office and explained to me that the company had a shortage in cash flow during the coming months. He asked me if I could bring in the customer design review and design drawings approval phase of my project, which was due in eight weeks, by two weeks so that the company could get paid 10% of the total project funding two weeks earlier. I told the company president that I would work on his request with my team members and with the customer’s project manager and get back to him in three working days.
