Describe a time you found a quality problem on a part that was already partway through assembly. What did you do next.

Tell me about a time you had to flex between different workstations or assembly areas in the same shift. How did you keep quality up while switching tasks.

Describe a time you suggested a process improvement on the line. Did it get adopted, and what happened.
genuine contribution to continuous improvement versus passive compliance
Technical
Have you used tools like 5 Why, 8D, or PDCA before? Walk me through a specific problem you worked through with one of them.

Situational
Walk me through how you'd train a new assembler on a rotor or stator build using a written work instruction they've never seen before.
