The supervisor sets manufacturing priorities and oversees daily production, monitoring safety, quality, output, schedule attainment, scrap, rework, and downtime. The role coordinates preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance; leads initial response to breakdowns; supports troubleshooting within established qualifications and procedures; and ensures accurate work-order documentation. It also supports equipment reliability, critical-spares planning, contractor and vendor work, operator basic care, quality controls, continuous improvement, equipment installation and startup, shift handoffs, staffing, employee development, and cross-functional coordination.
