Senior Production Supervisor

Senior Production Supervisor

Supervise daily operations of automated float glass lines (melting, forming, annealing, cutting, packaging) and the operators who run them. Plan and deliver shift production targets, allocate labor, and adjust priorities to meet customer demand and schedule changes. Ensure equipment reliability by enforcing preventive maintenance schedules, approving shutdown/repair scopes, and coordinating with maintenance/engineering to minimize downtime. Own product quality outcomes: review defect trends, approve containment actions, and lead root-cause/corrective-action activities. Lead root cause investigations for quality escapes and major downtime events; define corrective actions and verify effectiveness. Mentor, coach, and develop operators: conduct performance reviews, skills assessments, training, and competency signoffs. Drive continuous improvement projects (OEE, yield, MTTR/MTBF improvements). Enforce safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance, lead shift safety meetings, incident investigations, and corrective actions. Manage shift-level documentation and reporting: production metrics, downtime reasons, scrap logs, handover notes, and compliance records. Make operational decisions during shift escalations and represent the shift in cross-functional meetings; escalate unresolved issues to Department Manager. Support staffing, scheduling, and labor cost control; recommend hiring, promotions, or disciplinary actions within delegated authority.
