Overview

A large international chemical producer is adding a shift supervisor as its suburban Chicago plant moves from two shifts to three. The process is continuous and heavily automated, with operators running things from a central control room while the supervisor covers the floor across every production area. Expect to spend most of the shift out on the floor, with the rest going to scheduling, reporting, and coordination. Because the shift is brand new, the person who takes it will shape how it runs.
