Choose the right perspective

Look for candidates who've owned decisions about equipment selection, process bottlenecks, or supply chain disruptions. Ask them to describe a specific constraint they faced—not general industry knowledge, but a problem they solved or couldn't solve.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01When you chose between a faster production method and a more reliable one, what made you pick that direction and what went wrong or right?
  2. 02Tell me about a time when a supply chain problem or equipment failure forced you to change your delivery plan. How did you handle it?
  3. 03What technical constraint surprised you most when you started managing operations—something you didn't expect to limit speed or cost?
