About your past

Tell me about a time a supplier shortage threatened to stop a production line. What did you do?

What they are checking: Whether they act fast, communicate clearly and find workarounds when a missed part can shut down the line.

Tell me about a time you had to deliver bad news about a late shipment to a customer. How did you handle it?

What they are checking: Whether they tell customers early and honestly with a recovery plan, instead of hoping the problem goes away.

What does zero PPM on missed shipments mean to you day to day, and what habits help you protect it?

What they are checking: Whether they have daily routines that catch delivery risks early rather than reacting at the dock.

What would you do

A customer's EDI release jumps 40% overnight. What do you check before you change anything in the ERP?

What they are checking: Whether they validate a demand spike with the customer before triggering expensive expedites and schedule changes.

After an expedite, how would you figure out whether BorgWarner, the supplier or the customer caused it?

What they are checking: Whether they can trace a failure fairly using data, which decides who pays for premium freight.

The schedule changed and production doesn't know about the part shortage yet. How do you get the line the information it needs?

What they are checking: Whether they see themselves as part of the production team and push information out before it causes downtime.

About the work

How would you make sure every ASN goes out 100% accurate when you're handling EDI for several customers?

What they are checking: Whether they understand that ASN errors cause receiving problems and chargebacks with automotive customers.

How do you choose between ground, LTL and premium freight when a finished goods shipment is at risk of missing its date?

What they are checking: Whether they weigh cost against customer impact and can explain why they chose the more expensive option.

Walk me through how you'd build a chargeback to a supplier. What evidence would you gather first?

What they are checking: Whether they document costs carefully enough that a chargeback holds up and the relationship survives.

How do you keep ERP order data clean when customers send changes through EDI, email and phone?

What they are checking: Whether they keep one accurate record of demand, since bad order data creates shortages and excess inventory.
