A production manager oversees the manufacturing process within a company, ensuring efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness in the production of goods. They coordinate and plan production schedules, manage resources, monitor production standards, and implement improvements in processes. A key role involves liaising between different departments, such as procurement, logistics, and quality control, to optimize workflow and meet production targets. Production managers also address issues that may arise during manufacturing, such as equipment malfunctions or personnel challenges, to maintain smooth operations and achieve production goals.
