Do you have experience working directly with parts manufacturers and vendors?
Have you ever been asked to call a manufacturer or vendor directly? Talk to the interviewer about your ability to clearly communicate parts and inventory needs to the appropriate vendors. If you do not have experience in dealing directly with vendors or manufacturers, be sure to speak highly about your communication skills - be that over email or phone.
If you have experience working directly with parts manufacturers and vendors:
"Yes, I was the primary point of contact with many vendors in my most recent position. I have strong relationships established with A, B, and C (list the vendors that Hyundai Mobis may have current relationships with) and I am happy to bring that rapport with me, should I be the candidate that you choose. "

If you do not have experience working directly with parts manufacturers and vendors:
"My experience with vendors is limited; however, I am confident in my communication skills and know that I could take that task on effectively."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Having prior experience with vendors is helpful! Consider making your response more specific by sharing how many years of experience you have working with part manufacturers or vendors and share an example of how you successfully built a long-term vendor relationship that increased revenue or expanded an account.
