Challenges in Cross-Functional Collaboration

I’ve been noticing some recurring issues when our welding teams need to coordinate with the project management side. For instance, during the last pipeline project, we faced delays because of miscommunication around material availability. I’m curious how others have tackled similar challenges and what strategies have worked for their teams to enhance collaboration.
