Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it covered a whole procurement organization, one category such as railcars or materials, or buying for specific projects. Match that scope and the type of rail business, such as a railroad or a rail supplier, to the decision you face.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you qualify a new supplier for safety-critical rail parts, and what makes you walk away from one?
- 02Walk me through a large sourcing decision for rolling stock, track materials or services. How did you weigh price, lead time and supplier risk?
- 03When a key supplier missed delivery or quality targets, what did you change in how you managed them?
