Vendor queue controls for offshore coordination
A 10-field queue structure for vendor requests, evidence, aging, business impact, and escalation.
Method: capture request, deliverable, requested date, current status, last contact, evidence, business impact, dependency, authorized owner, and next action.
Key finding: a 10-field register makes repeated follow-up measurable and gives overdue work an escalation destination.
The coordinator can collect documents and updates; commercial commitments and contract changes remain with an authorized owner.

FAQ: Does more follow-up solve an overdue item? Only when the next action and escalation owner are explicit.
