An important order is on backorder and the customer is upset. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they use their authority carefully and check need and pricing before placing orders.
A customer describes a part only by what it does and where it goes. How do you figure out what they need?
What they are checking: Whether they ask good questions and use catalogs and product knowledge to identify industrial parts.
How do you keep inventory at the right level for a customer who orders the same parts often?
What they are checking: Whether they plan stock around customer usage so parts are ready when needed.
