Assure the interviewer that you are a go-getter and aren't going to wait to be asked what to do. Walk them through a scenario where you took it upon yourself to fix something and didn't run to your leader with a problem, but had multiple solutions.

"I noticed we were taking at least 2 hours a week on a manual report that seemed to be a big waste of time. I started playing around in our system at the different reporting features and was able to test and customize a report that could take the place of the manual report. After my testing, I brought the idea to my boss who made a few tweaks, but was thrilled I had discovered a more efficient way to give customers the same information."

My manager used to spend quite some time on a manual report that seemed to be a big waste of time. I started playing around in our system with the different reporting features and was able to test and customize a report that could take the place of the manual report. After my testing, I brought the idea to my boss who made a few tweaks but was thrilled I had discovered a more efficient way to produce the report.
Also changed some of the documents, which were produced manually from excel spreadsheets. I found a way how to extract the same information from system and format it to required standard saving time.
