Choose the right perspective

Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through how you qualified a new supplier for a regulated component. Which steps took the longest, and why?
- 02Tell me about a supply disruption that threatened production or a launch. How did you respond?
- 03How do you weigh cost reductions against the validation work and risk of changing a supplier?
