Production Control Supervisor
About The Position
The Production Control Supervisor leads our hourly warehouse, receiving, and lineside delivery teams — managing material flow across a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You'll establish and drive operational KPIs while overseeing materials from receiving and storage through kitting, line-side delivery, and shipping. This role demands high inventory accuracy, strong safety performance, and consistent support for production teams. You won't accept the status quo — you'll identify waste, drive continuous improvement, and communicate cross-functionally to remove blockers and keep production running without interruption.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or 5+ years of experience in warehouse, materials, manufacturing, or supply chain operations.
- 1+ year of experience leading or supervising hourly teams in an operational environment.
- Strong understanding of inventory control, material flow, and production support.
- Experience with ERP/WMS systems (Odoo, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar).
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office with advanced Excel skills.
- Ability to operate material handling equipment including forklifts; able to lift up to 75 lbs and work at heights with or without accommodation.
- Willingness to work extended hours, weekends, or alternate shifts as required.
Responsibilities
- Supervise, coach, and develop an hourly workforce — including performance feedback, conflict resolution, corrective actions, and performance improvement plans.
- Lead by example with a strong floor presence and clear expectations for safety, quality, and productivity.
- Monitor staffing levels, timekeeping, attendance, and shift coverage.
- Oversee receiving, inspection handoff, material board review, put-away, storage, picking, kitting, line-side delivery, and shipping operations.
- Ensure material availability to production at agreed service levels while minimizing excess inventory and handling.
- Maintain accurate inventory through disciplined cycle counts, transaction execution, and audits.
- Enforce FIFO, shelf-life controls, and material segregation requirements.
- Supervise internal logistics, milk runs, and material replenishment routes.
- Ensure compliance with company procedures and quality standards.
- Ensure proper operation, state of charge, and maintenance of material handling equipment (forklifts, pallet jacks, ladders).
- Identify and lead process improvements to increase throughput, accuracy, and labor efficiency.
- Drive waste reduction across space, motion, handling, and inventory.
- Analyze operational metrics and implement corrective actions where targets are not met.
- Ensure accurate and timely transactions in ERP/WMS systems.
- Track and report KPIs including inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, productivity, safety, and quality.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, engineering, and logistics teams.
