Production managers need to understand VARIOUS aspects of the business to lead the manufacturing of a quality product. I spent time in purchasing after working on the line, then started supervising assembly workers. My experience in purchasing helped me see just how many PROCUREMENT options we had, and how both price and quality varied. While working as a supervisor, I started to notice things about the small components that I hadnot been aware of earlier, and felt proud that our purchasing DEPARTMENT worked so HARD to research and select only the best quality components. My goal is to understand the assembly line so well that I can almost jump in and handle anyone’s job. This helps me to make the right recommendations and CHANGES where necessary.
