QUESTION 3 OF 39

Give an example of how you dealt with a supplier who did not deliver on the agreed upon date?

Purchasing Managers have to be able to navigate issues that are not 100% under their control. Key to this question is what business processes you put in place to prevent delivery delays, and how quickly those processes were implemented.

"We manage our suppliers closely and have agreements that they need to inform us prior to being late on deliveries. With that said, if a supplier fails to inform us of a slip in schedule or non-delivery we have corrective action plans set within each contract that have specific remedies."
