• A Regulatory Agency just arrived at the facility for an audit. You are a Departmental Director and you have been contacted by the General Manager and QA Director. The issue is that you are currently in a Seminar off-site and it will take you one hour to arrive at the Manufacturing site. Would you get to the facility immediately or would you delegate the task to your functional Manager?
• You are a Manufacturing Director and there is a meeting conflict on Fridays. There are 2 meetings at the same time and you were invited to both. One meeting is for manufacturing investigations; the other meeting is related to financial plans, facility performance and back-order evaluations/reports. You need to delegate one meeting and participate in one meeting, please indicate which meeting you will delegate and which meeting you will attend, explain your rationale.
