Sample answer
“In my previous role at Luxottica, I noticed a consistent defect in the lens fitting process, which resulted in a 5% return rate. I initiated a quality review to analyze the assembly procedures. After identifying that improper alignment during assembly was the cause, I implemented a new training session for the team and adjusted our assembly jigs. As a result, we reduced the return rate to 1% within three months.”
