  • Monitor key production metrics (e.g., throughput, yield, scrap rate, OTD, downtime) and drive continuous improvement to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize cost.
  • Develop and implement production plans, resource allocation (machinery, tooling, labor), scheduling, and staffing to optimize output while maintaining flexibility for change-overs and new product introductions.
  • Work closely with maintenance, tooling, engineering and quality teams to troubleshoot process issues (molding defects, machine performance, change-over delays), implement corrective action (root-cause analysis, CAPA) and sustain improvements.
  • Oversee and enforce strict clean-room operational discipline : gowning, contamination control, cleaning schedules, material flow, equipment calibration / verifications.
  • Manage and develop production supervisors and teams across shifts : hiring, training, performance management, succession planning, and fostering a culture of safety, quality and accountability.
  • Champion Lean / continuous improvement methodologies (Kaizen events, 5S, TPM, Six Sigma) to elevate process maturity and manufacturing excellence.
  • Prepare and manage departmental budgets, forecasts, production cost controls, tooling and MRO inventory. Report production status, KPI performance and improvement initiatives to senior leadership.
  • Ensure safety of workforce, compliance with OSHA or relevant workplace safety standards, and maintenance of a safe and ergonomic work environment.
  • Lead new product introduction (NPI) and qualification efforts for tooling, molds and equipment (IQ / OQ / PQ) in collaboration with engineering and quality teams when applicable.
  • Serve as the production representative in cross-functional teams (engineering, quality, supply chain) and support customer audits / visits related to the manufacturing process and clean-room operations.
  • Bachelors degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Plastics Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Minimum 5-10 years experience in manufacturing / production roles, ideally in plastic injection-molding of small components (medical device, auto, packaging or similar).
  • Demonstrated leadership / supervisory experience, preferably managing multi-shift operations.
  • Strong knowledge of plastic injection-molding processes, tooling, machine setup / operation, mold maintenance, trimming / finishing, material handling.
  • Proven track record of driving continuous improvement, lean manufacturing, cost reduction and quality improvements.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills : ability to perform root-cause analysis, implement corrective action and sustain results.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication and team-leadership skills. Capable of training and developing staff.
  • Proficiency with manufacturing systems, metrics, ERP / production reporting tools, Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
  • Ability to work in a clean-room environment and promote strict operational discipline.

    • Preferred :

  • Knowledge of ISO 13485, GMP, FDA medical-device regulations.
