Job Description

Position Overview :

The Production Manager is a key operational leader responsible for driving safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement across all facets of the manufacturing floor. This role blends strategic oversight with hands-on execution to ensure production goals are met while fostering a culture of safety, quality, and collaboration. The Production Manager will lead cross-functional initiatives, optimize planning and resource allocation, standardize best practices, and implement waste reduction strategies to support long-term operational excellence. Strong project management, communication, and team leadership skills are essential to successfully align daily operations with broader business objectives.

Key Responsibilities :

Safety & Compliance

  • Enforce health, safety, and environmental regulations across the production floor.
  • Foster a Safety Culture : Promote open communication, encourage near-miss reporting, and recognize safe behaviors to build a proactive safety mindset.
  • Develop and Maintain Safety Programs : Create and update site-specific safety protocols, including lockout / tagout procedures, PPE requirements, and emergency response plans.
  • Lead Incident Investigations : When incidents occur, oversee root cause analysis (like 5-Why or Fishbone), document findings, and ensure timely implementation of corrective and preventive actions.

Production Planning & Scheduling

  • Capacity Planning : Evaluate equipment, labor, and facility capabilities to ensure production goals are realistic and achievable. This includes planning for peak periods and maintenance downtime.
  • Inventory Management : Monitor raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods to maintain optimal inventory levels. This includes implementing just-in-time (JIT) strategies when appropriate.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand production requirements and translate them into effective planning strategies.
  • Allocate human and material resources effectively to meet production targets and quality standards.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination : Work closely with sales, logistics, engineering, and quality teams to ensure production plans align with broader business objectives and customer expectations.
  • Continuous Improvement :

  • Identify opportunities for process optimization and efficiency gains within the production planning framework.
  • Develop and implement Lean Manufacturing principles to identify and eliminate non-value-added activities within the production processes.
  • Lead Lean projects to streamline workflows, reduce lead times, and optimize resource utilization.
  • Conduct thorough value stream mapping exercises to identify areas for improvement in production planning, material flow, and overall process efficiency.
  • Organize and facilitate Kaizen events to engage the production team in continuous improvement activities.
  • Implement Kaizen-driven changes to enhance production planning, reduce bottlenecks, and improve overall operational flow.
  • Implement continuous improvement initiatives to drive productivity and reduce lead times.
  • Collaboration and Communication :

  • Foster effective communication channels between production, procurement, and logistics teams to ensure alignment on planning goals.
  • Clear Direction Setting : Translate strategic goals into actionable tasks for frontline supervisors and operators, using visual management tools like Gemba boards or digital dashboards.
  • Shift Handover Protocols : Implement structured communication during shift changes to ensure continuity, flag issues, and maintain accountability.
  • Feedback Loops : Create channels for upward feedback—like suggestion boxes, digital surveys, or regular team huddles—to surface frontline insights.
  • Crisis Communication : Lead communication during unplanned events (e.g., equipment failure, safety incidents), ensuring transparency and timely updates to all stakeholders.
  • Employee Engagement : Use town halls, newsletters, or one-on-one check-ins to keep teams informed, motivated, and aligned with company values.
  • Standard Work Development :

  • Establish and maintain standardized work procedures that promote consistency, quality, and efficiency in production planning activities.
  • Collaborate with team members to ensure adherence to standardized processes and drive continuous improvement.
  • Define the Best-Known Method (BKM) : Collaborate with operators, engineers, and quality teams to document the most efficient, safe, and repeatable way to perform a task.
  • Drive Continuous Improvement : Treat standard work as a living document. Update it based on kaizen events, safety findings, or quality improvements.
  • Waste Reduction Strategies :

  • Identify and implement strategies to minimize waste, including excess inventory, overproduction, and unnecessary movement of materials.
  • Monitor key metrics to track the impact of waste reduction initiatives on overall production efficiency.
  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM) : Collaborate with engineering to simplify product designs, reduce part counts, and minimize processing steps—cutting waste after production even begins.
  • Project Management :

  • Lead cross-functional projects related to process improvements, equipment upgrades, and facility expansions.
  • Develop detailed project plans, timelines, and resource allocations to ensure on-time, on-budget execution
  • Coordinate with engineering, maintenance, procurement, and external vendors to align project deliverables with production goals.
  • Facilitate regular project meetings, status updates, and stakeholder communications to ensure transparency and alignment.
  • Oversee commissioning, validation, and handoff of completed projects to operations teams.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience (10+ years in a manufacturing or production role) may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • Experience : 5+ years in manufacturing or production environments, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or leadership role
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for effective collaboration.
  • Project management experience, with a track record of successful system implementations.
  • Join our team and be a key player in shaping the future of our production planning processes. If you are passionate about optimizing workflows, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and driving operational excellence, we invite you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
