Choose the right perspective
Look for candidates who managed actual production or distribution workflows and can describe concrete problems they encountered. Ask them to walk through a specific day or week when things went wrong, and what they learned about where the system breaks. Avoid general answers about process improvement; push for real examples.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02When you hit a capacity constraint, like a bottleneck in production or warehouse space, how did you decide what to do? What was the trade-off?
- 03Describe an exception or unexpected event that disrupted your daily schedule. How did you find out about it, and what made it hard to fix quickly?
