Industrial engineers, especially if they are interviewing for a management position, will need to continuously drive change and improve to stay relevant. To explain your proficiency, say, 'I use change metrics that are easily understandable at a glance to the employees, clients, and visitors walking through the organization. I also style them differently every once in a while and update them frequently so that their impact stays fresh.
Specific charts I use for displays and baselines for future projects include Project KPI measurements, (radar charts are a great example), Benefit Realization, Return on Investment, and detailed Statistical Process Control charts.
I would also measure change management performance through KPIs and metrics that gauged factors such as communication effectiveness, performance improvements and speed of execution and adherence to timelines.'
Consider safety initiative metrics, also. Say, 'I use charts and visuals to track days without injury in plants that have heavy material handling traffic, high risk workstations, previous injuries, or OSHA violations. I find those give everyone a sense of pride and initiative to stay on the right track. Customized flags and banners for team achievement installed in a production area for everyone to see incentivize and sustains change.'
