Gaining Team Consensus in Project Planning - Part 1 Page 2

	Looking at our primary objective, we see that managing our inventory to maintain and grow sales is an important necessary condition for our business.
Therefore, we examine this necessary condition and it's logical prerequisite next.
.	We are identifying the underlying reasons why there is ever increasing pressure on our business to build larger inventories both in depth of parts stocked and breadth of parts in our catalog. Availability of parts is an important customer requirement.
We then go back to our primary objective to see the other side of the picture.
	Here we see the need for inventory cost control. Our operating expenses directly effect part's pricing, which also is a customer sensitive issue.
Therefore, we examine this necessary condition and it's logical prerequisite next.

We begin to see that like most conflicts which prevent the achievement of an objective, that both sides of the argument are built on what appears to be sound underlying reasoning. But as with any conflict we want to challenge our underlying assumptions to find a direction for solution. We want to make the conflict cloud evaporate.
