Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your question: leaders who run global operations for a whole division suit questions about running many sites and product lines, while leaders tied to one division or region suit questions about a narrower part of the network. Look at the other employers each person lists if you want an outside comparison as well as the Thermo Fisher Scientific view.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you organize operations across several manufacturing sites that serve different product lines within one division?
- 02What do you look at first when integrating an acquired site or business into an existing operations network?
- 03How do you set priorities across safety, quality, delivery and cost when demand shifts between product lines?
