Responsibilities

Production Operations 

• Plan, organize, and direct daily manufacturing activities to the weekly build plan, and release work cards to the floor each week so the line always has kitted, sequenced work in front of it. 

• Execute structured daily management systems, including production tier meetings, visual controls, and escalation processes. 

• Ensure strict adherence to standard work, setup sheets, run parameters, and stage inspections as documented in Boltline work plans and work cards. 

• Maintain schedule attainment by resolving bottlenecks, managing priorities, and deploying labor effectively. 

• Sequence work around the line's long fixed-cycle operations. Vacuum drying and impregnation run a multi-day cycle across a limited number of tanks, so tank availability — not headcount — frequently sets weekly output; plan WIP to keep those tanks loaded. 

• Ensure all production records, logs, and sign-offs are completed accurately and on time in Boltline, against the correct work plan revision. 

Team Leadership and Development 

• Lead, develop, and supervise production leads, machine operators, assemblers, and technicians. 

• Own the operator training matrix: qualify each operator against each process, keep training records current, and manage Boltline group membership so that only qualified people can sign off on a given operation. 

• Conduct regular coaching, feedback sessions, and performance evaluations. 

• Enforce attendance, time management, operating discipline, and performance standards.
