About the role
This interview is about keeping technically complex operations supplied without tying up unnecessary capital or compromising control. The panel wants end-to-end thinking across demand, procurement, logistics, warehousing and inventory, along with calm decisions when disruption threatens operations.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example of materials planning for a shutdown, project or remote operation.
- Review how you segment spares by criticality, lead time, usage and consequence of shortage.
- Think through a logistics disruption involving clearance, transport or supplier failure.
- Practise explaining how you improved poor master data or unreliable demand forecasts.
- Prepare measures that show both service performance and inventory discipline.
Common mistakes
- Chasing availability without considering excess stock, preservation or obsolescence.
- Describing emergency expediting as a substitute for sound planning.
- Blaming operations for forecast changes without improving the planning process.
- Using measures that reward one function while damaging end-to-end performance.
