Specifically, personal penalties for the exec teams. Do this once, and they'll take 10x the level of care going forward.

I'm not sure this is news: access to live support from your operational partners is crucial to... operations. AFAICT, this has always been true, and it's why I recommend all COOs build strong relationships with their supply chain
