Responsibilities

As a Production Supervisor run daily start-ups, own hazard hunts, verify LOTO/machine guarding, and close near-miss actions like clockwork.
Be the role model for GMPs, HACCP/Preventive Controls, FSMA, and audit readiness—no compromises.
Keep every spec on point: CCP checks, metal/X‑ray, code/date accuracy, net weight, allergen control. When something’s off, you contain it, identify the root cause, fix it, and lock it in with standard work.
Lead tier huddles, manage hour-by-hour boards, and deliver plan vs. actual.
Drive OEE, yield, and changeover time with Lean/TPM tools (5S, SMED, Centerlining, AM/PM).
Coach a skilled team (union or non-union). Set clear expectations, celebrate wins, and handle tough moments with fairness and speed. Keep your skills matrix healthy, so the line never skips a beat.
Partner with maintenance on Autonomous Maintenance and Planned Maintenance. Tag defects, prioritize WOs, and verify fixes. Prevent today’s “niggle” from becoming tomorrow’s downtime.
Lead mini‑Kaizens and deliver real savings. Use 5‑Why/fishbone and basic SPC to eliminate chronic losses, then hardwire the win into SOPs and One‑Point Lessons.
