At Hyundai Mobis we put a lot of focus on having the best inventory over our competitors. Have you ever made a suggestion on a product line or item?
An engaged employee will notice when changes are required. They make recommendations and suggestions they feel will benefit the organization. Have you ever taken the lead by making a recommendation to your employer?
"I made a recommendation last month that we try a new line of parts after one of our particular vendors shorted us on inventory. The vendor that I suggested was newer to the industry but their customer service was impressive and their pricing was more competitive. We gave them a shot and it worked out really well for us, resulting in cost savings and happier customers."
"I often make small suggestions in the workplace. Minor tweaks here and there that will improve productivity. I prefer working in an environment where employee suggestions are welcomed."

This is a strong beginning. Adding more detail here will also be helpful. Tell the interviewer more about the new product line you recommended, why you chose it, and how you altered pricing to be more competitive. If known, share the percentage of cost savings and why the customers liked the product you recommended better than the previous option.
