Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to yours, since running procurement for a whole steel group differs from running it for one plant or a downstream processing business. Also check whether the role is current or former, and pick someone whose time in the job lines up with the market conditions behind your question.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you split sourcing of bulk raw materials such as iron ore, coal and scrap from sourcing of operating spares and services?
- 02How do you structure long-term supply contracts when raw material prices swing sharply?
- 03How do you run procurement for large plant capital projects alongside day-to-day operating spend?
