Reporting & Records: Maintain accurate daily production records, including output, downtime, and waste data, and communicate any variances to management.

Maintenance Liaison: Work closely with the Maintenance team to minimize downtime by promptly addressing equipment breakdowns.

Loss Reduction: Lead initiatives to reduce waste, defects, and rejections through root-cause analysis and corrective measures.

People Development: Train and mentor floor staff, supporting continuous improvement programs to enhance team performance.
