MLA – Multi Level Approval

While eating lunch…. heard the 3 men from next table’s discussion.

One man asked his 2 friends, “Heard of Jack Ma?? The boss of Alibaba???”

Smiling in my heart, of course I know. Stupid me still holding on its shares since IPO.

“Ma said, if anything needs more than 2 levels of approval, the system is totally useless!” The man continued.

The man added. “The next level manager only see signatures of the lower level manager and just signed it. This creates inefficiency!”

Yeah!! I totally agree! Nowadays corporate purchase even few hundreds dolllar, requires operation manager, HOD, fab director, management control, then another 2 levels of purchasing approval. Total of at least 6 levels of signature loop. The system create jobs for all manager involved… :-(
