About your past

What they are checking: Whether they reduce human error through error-proofing and better process design, rather than relying only on retraining and reminders.
How would you train a new Line Supervisor candidate?

Tell me about a time you had to lead peers who used to be on your level.
What they are checking: Whether they can lead former peers with fairness and clear expectations, earning respect without becoming distant or overly friendly.

About the work
Walk me through how you'd run a line clearance between two lots on a packaging line.

Your line's OEE has dropped for two weeks. How do you find out why?
What they are checking: Whether they break OEE into availability, performance and quality losses, so they fix the real cause instead of guessing.
