I would agree a corrective-action plan with clear owners, due dates, leading indicators, and escalation thresholds, then review progress frequently until performance is stable. What controls would you use to protect high-value data-center hardware stored by a third party? I would establish SOPs for receiving, serial-number capture, secure storage, access control, CCTV, chain of custody, packaging, and exception handling. I would verify these controls through scheduled audits, cycle counts, reconciliation to ERP and WMS records, and incident investigations. How do you approach a discrepancy between a 3PL physical inventory count and the ERP record? I would quarantine the affected inventory where appropriate, reconcile transaction history and serial-level records, and conduct a targeted recount. After resolving the immediate discrepancy, I would document the root cause, correct records through controlled approval, and implement preventive controls. Describe how you would evaluate and onboard a new 3PL partner. I would begin with capacity, location, capability, security, cost, systems, compliance, and service-level requirements. Following RFI or RFQ and site assessment, I would finalize contractual SLAs, configure systems and reporting, train the partner on SOPs, complete a controlled go-live, and monitor early performance closely. How would you manage a disputed 3PL invoice? I would compare invoice line items to the contract, agreed rate card, operational activity records, and approved value-added services. I would resolve unsupported charges with the supplier, retain a documented audit trail, and use recurring discrepancies to improve billing controls or renegotiate terms.
