1. Focusing on unneccery reports and analysis such as OTIF even when customer doesnt give any response to it. 2. Too much work load on each individuals 3. Very poor after sales support to the customer, there should be a saperate department for this. 4. Internal process are very complicated, eg. Approvals, new tech developments 5. No value for hard work, its just their job 6. Freedom to speech but no one cares what you are speaking 7. Few leaders are very arrogant 8. 30% of tasks are unproductive and done just for sake of doing.
