Candidate view
A warehouse misses its weekly profit target
The prompt
Fictional and illustrative. You run a warehouse near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that handles 40,000 online orders a week for retailers. It is paid MYR 12 per order. Labour costs MYR 6 per order, up from MYR 5 three months ago because of overtime since a packing station became a bottleneck. Other variable costs are MYR 2 per order and fixed costs are MYR 140,000 a week. The target is a profit of MYR 60,000 a week. Where is the gap, and what do you do?
Your interviewer will share data as you ask for it. Ask clarifying questions, state a hypothesis, then lay out your structure out loud before you calculate.
