33⟩ Explain the difference between lean manufacturing and JIT (Just-in-Time) Manufacturing?

☛ Lean Manufacturing: It takes the concept of JIT and re-examines it from the customer point of view. Anything that is produced should add something of valuable to the customer’s requirement. For example, if you are making stereo system for a luxury car, you will think from the customer point of view like sound quality, durability, space occupancy, loud or medium sound, etc.

☛ JIT (Just-in-Time): This methodology is designed to ensure that a product or part would arrive just in time to be used. This technique saves the cost behind the unused inventory, and eliminating the need of piling up inventory.

40⟩ Tell me what's changed over the years?

Well, supervisors and managers can expect the stock questions they've likely seen for years — but also need to prep for behavioral and situational interview questions for that next supervisory position. How you handled a certain challenge (e.g. staffing issue, cash flow problems) based on your past behaviors, for example.

With the integration of strategic systems into businesses, a candidate can also expect interview questions that involve business and system advancements, such as automation systems, Six Sigma compliance, ISO certification involvement, and so on.
