Umoya Rail Engineering (KwaZulu-Natal, Durban) supports rail-yard operations and experiences frequent unplanned stoppages when specific bearings, seals, and motor components are unavailable. Engineering supervisors want faster availability, maintenance planners want predictable replenishment rules, stores managers want fewer emergency issues, and finance wants clearer justification for stocking decisions. The category team has collected these views but cannot translate them into one consistent set of success criteria for the spares category plan. Which sequence should the team follow before finalising category objectives?

Question

Answer

Capture procurement’s criteria for the spares plan first, then consult stakeholders only to adjust meeting schedules and implementation timelines.

Answer

Collect stakeholder requirements once, freeze them as a baseline to prevent scope changes, and treat later concerns as implementation issues rather than objective-setting inputs.

Answer

Map the stakeholders, document each stakeholder’s success criteria, validate the criteria through discussion and evidence from recent stoppages, reconcile differences into shared criteria, and review the criteria periodically as needs change.

Answer

List stakeholders, ask each to nominate preferred suppliers for the spares, and set objectives by adopting the supplier choices supported by the largest group.
