Choose the right perspective
Match the person's equipment types and industry to your project, since buying automotive assembly lines, semiconductor tools or chemical plant equipment involves different suppliers and lead times. Also consider whether you need help with a single major purchase or with setting up a capex sourcing process across many plants.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you run a competitive sourcing event for custom machinery when only a few suppliers can build it?
- 02Which contract terms, such as payment milestones, acceptance testing and performance guarantees, matter most when buying capital equipment?
- 03How do you work with engineering teams so equipment specifications do not lock you into a single supplier?
