When hiring managers ask the age-old 'tell me your greatest weakness' question, they're ultimately looking to hear that you have done your homework on the role you are interviewing for and are cognizant of the shortcomings you would bring. The team at Kimberly-Clark knows that their work is highly specialized, and your interviewer needs to know where you may require additional training.
"I could improve some technical skills, including Excel and PowerPoint. Currently, I am at a beginner to intermediate level, but I would be more comfortable at an advanced level. I understand this role at Kimberly-Clark will involve some use of those programs. If I'm fortunate enough to join this team, an initial goal of mine would be to learn and master the aspects of those programs I would be working in."
"I am not good at delegating to others. When submerged in a project, I don't like to give away control. While this can be good, it can also inhibit the outcome of the project and my growth as a team player and individual. I am working on this, as I know it is a deficit, and will continue to do so here at Kimberly-Clark."

Before your interview, thoroughly review the job description of the position you are interviewing for at Kimberly-Clark and the department you would be joining. Then be prepared to come to your interview and discuss where you might lack some skills or experience. Your interviewer will be able to see how genuine you are in your response. Be honest with yourself and your interviewer. Highlight your desire to learn and grow in this area from day one on the job.

"To be honest, the one piece I'm a bit nervous about is my lack of APICS certification as a newer graduate in the supply chain field. I have been working over the last six months to prepare for the certification, but life gets in the way outside my work hours. If I'm fortunate enough to join Kimberly-Clark, I will prioritize getting certified as soon as possible."
