Question 1
Nothing special. When she tried to prove that I was not a good fit in the situation of balancing quantity and quality in my previous job she said "In our team we all make mistakes. We make many mistakes." I was thinking what she tried to tell me about how supply chain works at Henkel. What was the logic. No wonder the fill rate couldn't be improved. Besides, any mistake in Automotive industry where I worked before can be very expensive, more expensive than other industries.
