Production Manager

Manager of managers

Owns the production (and often packaging) operation of a site or a major area: output against plan, safety, quality and GMP compliance, conversion cost and the development of shift leaders and operators, while driving the site's TPM or lean programme. Success is judged on safety results, schedule attainment and OEE, waste and labour cost against budget, audit outcomes and the strength of the supervisory bench.
