Useful intelligence before the order.
Practical notes on mining procurement, critical products, safety, traceability and supply chain.
Traceability
Why a traceable bag is different
Reference, lot, documentation and handover can be part of the specification.
Procurement
Why technical requests fail
Incomplete specifications, weak supplier checks or poor documents create delays.
Supply chain
From supplier to site
Product availability is not enough: consolidation, documents, transport and receiving must be coordinated.
HSE
A PPE kit is not a list
Role, exposure and site requirements determine the configuration.
Local content
Why supplier documentation matters
Eligibility and documentary traceability are part of procurement risk.
Critical supply
Rare products need better scoping
The more critical or regulated the category, the more precise and documented the requirement should be.
