I sought out Cargill looking for a job. They forwarded my resume onto the appropriate person. I was contacted a few weeks later. An interview was set up. I met with my department manager and plant engineer. A few weeks later I received an offer via email.
To figure out how many stations and how many operators you need in a production line, you start with the takt time and total workload, then factor in efficiency, layout, and operator balance. Here’s the step-by-step:
Multiple rounds with cross functional leaders. Technical but problem solving focused. Emphasis on how past experience will help in role. 3 or 4 rounds with different group each time. Was conducted virtually not in person.
