Example Answer:
Situation: In my previous role, we faced a significant delay in the delivery of raw materials due to a supplier issue.
Task: My responsibility was to ensure that production schedules were not disrupted and find an alternative solution quickly.
Action: I immediately contacted multiple alternative suppliers, negotiated expedited shipping terms, and coordinated with the production team to adjust the schedule temporarily. I also implemented a more robust supplier vetting process to prevent future issues.
Result: We managed to secure the necessary materials within 48 hours, and production continued with minimal disruption. Additionally, the new supplier vetting process reduced similar issues by 30% in the following year.
