How should you choose a manufacturing family hiring guide?
Choose the family by the work the team owns, not by the most senior title on the organization chart. A process change may need engineering. A recurring fault may need maintenance. An audit issue may need quality. Read the relevant guide, then agree the responsibilities before using its interview questions.
