Manufacturing / production
On a production line the pace is set by the slowest link and the cost is set by error. The challenge when hiring is to add people who keep quality and safety without slowing the line or piling up rework.
From an industry risk to a better-supported decision

Signals to assess
Attention to detail and adherence to the standard in repetitive tasks. Disposition toward health and safety on the job. Ability to organize and prioritize under production targets. Learning to operate new processes or equipment.
