Top Supply Chain Manager Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: What do you aim to accomplish as a supply chain manager?

How to answer
How to answer: This question seeks to assess your attitude toward work and business. Instead of talking about your personal goals, you should focus on the achievements of the company. For instance, your goal may be to reduce the company's overall logistics cost by 10% or increase delivery speed by 5%.
Question 2

Question #2: Do you know how to use supply-chain management software such as SAP MM and SAP Plant maintenance?

How to answer
How to answer: If you have experience using supply-chain software, you should explain the different modules in the package and how they've helped you manage the supply chain and logistics more efficiently. If not, you can tell the hiring manager that you're able to learn new software quickly.
Question 3

Question #3: How do you prepare for the holiday season?

How to answer
How to answer: You'll want to convince the interviewer that you're able to handle a large influx of sales within a short time frame. You can say that you'll review the sales from past holiday seasons, order more materials and supplies for high-demand items, and get the transportation teams ready to handle increased shipment and delivery volumes.
