significant challenges for Elev8 Media. In an industry where quick turnaround times are
inadequate access to transportation services and equipment. This limitation not only affects
the company's agility in executing campaigns but also restricts its ability to scale operations
Another aspect where Elev8 Media faces challenges is in its warehousing operations.
Inefficiencies and blunders within the company's warehousing processes can lead to delays
and disruptions in the overall workflow. Time loss due to warehouse machine malfunctions
can severely interrupt operations and production. It might cause order fulfillment delays,
resulting in customer discontent and possibly revenue loss. Effective maintenance practices
and frequent equipment inspections can assist to reduce the impact of these mistakes and
ensure better warehouse operations. These warehousing faults directly impact the
challenges through the long lead times they create. To address these concerns, the company
must adopt comprehensive risk management techniques that encompass strategic planning,
enhance its vendor selection and monitoring procedures to ensure reliable partnerships
and reduce the risk of disruptions. Moreover, the company needs to optimize its warehouse

Natural disasters, regulatory changes, and public health emergencies are some
examples of unforeseen events that can happen within the duration that a company is
operating. These events may lead to significant delays which can interrupt the normal
operation of a company. Elev8 Media, being an advertising and media company, is deeply
affected by these events since it is important for them to make and deliver their goods at
the agreed date. It is not easy to make the materials to use in building billboards and other
types of advertising materials. Hence, the company opts to outsource some of it to lessen
the hassle it takes to make one. Since they outsource their materials, it can cause significant
delays when an unforeseen event happens. Moreover, if the materials itself is not delivered
at the agreed time it will be a domino effect in which it can interrupt the production
process and it can also affect the professional relationship between the company and its
customers.

subpar work, engage in unethical behavior, or utilize plagiarized material, all of which
might harm the agency's image and result in unhappy clients. This is a major issue since
advertising agencies heavily rely on their image and trustworthiness to get clients. Missed
deadlines might happen when unreliable providers don't stick to the timetables they've
promised, interrupting workflow and delaying clients. Due to the vendor's activities, the
agency's reputation may suffer, which might result in client loss. Dealing with dishonest
vendors demands more time and effort, which results in operational inefficiencies. Unlike
manufacturing businesses, where they have standard requirements and regular inspections
that can help maintain proper products, With advertising agencies or services in general, it
is hard to have a standard for the services given. But a good thing with Elev8 Media Inc.
