• Monitor production performance and quickly respond to issues that impact output.
• Partner with Production, Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and Materials to solve problems and improve processes.

• Takes ownership and solves problems without waiting to be asked.
• Stays calm and organized in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
