supply chain integration

Does this happen often? The person assumes the role as project manager or integration. Then he starts to intrude. To ..?
example, if I took responsibility for the provision of water and gas supply also, i really do not know how or work. That could wait until a request to unearth the way to solve the water supply, and a request to disinter the way to solve the gas supply, wine, and then "action" of both. Customers must be jumping up and down, but I'd be congratulating myself on my efficiency ". If I am high enough in the chain food, nobody will bother me for suggesting it might be better not to participate.
I do not think that happens a lot, but it happens. It is more common in the "good boy ol ' "network companies. These are the sites that" reward "in the ability of the longevity. Unfortunately, many defense contractors have networks of the largest child good ol '. I started at a defense contractor over 22 years. Some of the people I started with are still there. They have only seen how to do things one way. They have 22 years experience, have 1 year of experience 22 times. The good news is that this type of behavior not being rewarded as much as it used to be. Many companies are measuring the results (ie, indicators of maintenance). Metrics could be time it takes to answer a question or how many customer complaints come in on him. Because you get what you measure, managers need to do to have a good measurement. If the company is measuring the right things, you'll get good results. In my practice, I'm seeing more of this, but far from universal.
