The vendor just informed the project manager that an item will not be delivered as scheduled due to a manufacturing error. This will impact the delivery timeline of the
project as there are dependencies to the completion of this item delivery.
What action should the project manager take?
Contact the vendor and insist on the agreed timeline since any item delay will affect the overall project.
Agree with the vendor on a revised timeline, document the issue, and identify tasks to finish while awaiting delivery.
Ensure this is documented as an issue and wait until the vendor delivers the item before progressing with any further tasks.
Ensure that the vendor is removed from the vendor management list to avoid working with them in the future.
