Sample answer
“While working at a local manufacturing plant, I noticed a batch of bags with inconsistent stitching. I immediately reported it to my supervisor and worked with the production team to investigate. We discovered a malfunction in the sewing machine that was causing the issue. After it was fixed, we implemented a new monitoring system to catch similar problems earlier. This reduced our defect rate by 15% in subsequent batches.”
