1 Technical questions

Technical questions are designed to assess your familiarity with the tools, equipment, methods, and standards of manufacturing operations. You may be asked to explain how a specific machine works, how to troubleshoot a problem, how to perform a quality check, or how to optimize a process. To answer these questions, you need to demonstrate your technical expertise, use relevant terminology, and provide examples from your previous experience.

I have always found helpful when I ask candidates about their operational excellence understanding. Typically one would ask for key four or five metrics to be measured from the shop floor to understand the candidates understanding of operational excellence. Many a times people just highlight the metrics but not give good background of the importance of these metrics.

2 Behavioral questions

Behavioral questions are based on the premise that your past behavior is a good indicator of your future performance. You may be asked to describe a situation where you faced a challenge, solved a problem, improved a process, worked in a team, or handled a conflict in a manufacturing setting. To answer these questions, you should use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, and Result. You should explain the context, your role, your actions, and the outcome of the situation, highlighting your achievements and skills.

3 Situational questions

Situational questions are hypothetical scenarios that test your ability to think on your feet and apply your knowledge and skills to a new situation. You may be asked how you would handle a breakdown, a quality issue, a deadline, a customer complaint, or a safety hazard in a manufacturing operation. To answer these questions, you should use the PAR method: Problem, Action, and Result. You should identify the problem, explain the action you would take, and describe the expected result, showing your logic and reasoning.

Problem: Machine causing a lot of scratch defect of the aluminum disk? Action: re-run a sample and follow through so you can isolate where it is coming from. Result: after isolating and following through I discovered that it is the brushes that is causing scratches on the disk. There is a small metal material embedded on the sponge brush. Corrective action will be to replace the brush and re-sample to verify if scratches are gone.

One of the famous questions would be sharing of the success stories or achievement in previous job. This is mainly to see any success story behind your earlier career. This also see how the candidate behave and bring himself in the story telling, to see any loop holes or mismatch of so-called skillsets or knowledge been written in the resume vs actual.
