Typical work activities of production supervisor
A production supervisor is sometimes known as a shift manager or team leader.
He reports to the production manager or plant manager and is responsible for
achieving immediate and short-term objectives laid down by the production manager,
for example output, quality, waste, yield, safety and overtime costs. In particular, the
supervisor can have a significant effect on how effectively their production staff
perform as a team. Much of the work requires the ability to make immediate
decisions.
Typical activities of production supervisor include:
• at the beginning of each shift, checking on absences (eg through sickness);
• reallocating tasks or rescheduling production, where necessary; Supervisors
are responsible for production plant or equipment, too.
The responsibility they carry again varies with the situation. In some cases they
may have to take technical decisions on a regular basis, whereas in others they may
call upon maintenance or other technical staff for backup when necessary.
