6. Walk me through your experience with implementing lean manufacturing principles or continuous improvement initiatives in production planning processes?
7. How do you monitor and track key performance indicators (KPIs) related to production planning to evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement?
8. Talk about a time when you had to coordinate production planning activities for multiple product lines or manufacturing facilities? How did you ensure alignment and efficiency across different production areas?
9. Give me an overview of how do you prioritize safety and quality considerations in production planning decisions? Can you provide examples of how you have integrated safety and quality standards into production plans?

Always ask candidates to provide specific examples or anecdotes that demonstrate their skills and experiences. This helps to validate the candidate's claims and provides concrete evidence of their capabilities.
Let me know if you have an interview coming up for a different role and would like a separate list of questions customized to the role you have open.
