Dispute resolution process

In the first instance, suppliers are encouraged to submit queries to a central mailbox held by Mitsubishi finance team finance@m-ace.mee.com.

The Accounts Payable team will escalate to Finance Manager any disputes they are unable to resolve. We also have an automated switchboard which allows suppliers to speak directly with a member of the finance staff.
