Choose the right perspective
Match the person's operation to yours, since managing materials for one plant differs from coordinating several sites or a regional network. If your main problem is inventory accuracy and MRP discipline, favor people whose roles combined materials with inventory control; for supplier and purchasing questions, favor those whose roles also covered purchasing.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set inventory targets for raw materials and components, and how do you keep MRP data accurate enough to trust?
- 02What do you do first when shortages start stopping production lines?
- 03How should materials management, purchasing and production planning split responsibilities in a mid-sized plant?
