Good supplier relationships are a must and there must be two-way communication. If there is not, the relationships fall apart and the blame game starts. When I describe the blame game I m talking about the behavior of Jacques Nasser, President and CEO of Ford Motor Compary, and John Lampe, Executive Vice President of Firestone, during the faulty tire issue in 2000 and 2001. If good supplier relationships existed, this type of behavior would not occur. 

People who hold fast to these beliefs and behaviors are hurting the chances for good buzz and good press, and thus are restricting game sales and costing their publisher money. 

The phenomenological language used here is the distribution of retardation times that determines the creep compliance J(t). Various mathematical models are employed to model the observed behavior, but this is still early in the game for this approach. There is still limited good data, and it is well before the more sophisticated computer approaches of the future.
