Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who've owned decisions about production equipment, supply chain logistics, or facility operations. Ask them to describe a specific problem they solved and what it cost to implement. Avoid people who only advise; find those who lived with the consequences.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01Tell me about a time you chose between faster production and equipment reliability. What made you pick that option?
  2. 02When a production line failed, what did it cost in lost output, rework, or safety issues? How did that shape your next decision?
  3. 03Which constraint—delivery speed, product consistency, or operating cost—has forced you to redesign a process? Walk me through what changed.
