The hiring decision

What makes this hire work on your plant floor?

Your Inventory Control Manager opening is about inventory accuracy and the controls behind reliable material records, not a familiar title on a resume. Start with a variance investigation connecting a transaction error with physical flow.

Write down who is accountable for inventory accuracy and the controls behind reliable material records today. If responsibility for inventory accuracy and the controls behind reliable material records is divided between several people, tell us where this hire's work begins and ends. That explanation helps separate their capability from a team's success at inventory accuracy and the controls behind reliable material records.

Discuss what information was available during a variance investigation connecting a transaction error with physical flow.
