Your answer to this question should reveal your interest in manufacturing. A manufacturing environment can be very stressful and demanding, so employers want to know they are getting someone with a genuine interest in the field, not someone just looking for a job. There are a lot of good answers to this question; the candidate just needs to be honest and give reasons why they are a great choice for the job.

"Well, from an early age I had a significant interest in making things. This interest developed with hobbies like 3D printing, and building a small metallurgy factory in my backyard where I would make toys for my neighborhood friends, and I even had an interest in finding ways to make our home chores more efficient. Mom was happy! She left me in charge of the chores after I made a way to measure our productivity and I'd just give her the weekly reports... It just so happened that there was a field that suited this interest. After pursuing manufacturing engineering as my advocation for some years, gaining certificates and formal education, it turns out I like the field."
