Manufacturing; Production Manager

The Production Manager leads all manufacturing operations at the Cooler Master facility, focusing on scaling output and implementing robust operational systems. This role demands a strategic leader capable of translating complex business objectives into actionable floor-level workflows. Key responsibilities include overseeing the end-to-end production cycle, managing capital resource allocation, and ensuring the facility meets aggressive growth targets without compromising on quality or safety standards.

• Direct the daily manufacturing operations to ensure production targets are met on time, within budget, and according to specific technical requirements.
• Monitor and optimize plant performance by identifying bottlenecks, reducing cycle times, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, 5S, or Six Sigma).
• Oversee the recruitment, training, and performance evaluation of production staff, ensuring a cross-trained and high-performing team.
• Maintain a "safety-first" culture by ensuring total compliance with OSHA regulations, environmental standards, and internal corporate safety protocols.
• Oversee the preventative maintenance schedules for all factory machinery and tools to maximize uptime and extend asset life.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration with engineering and sales departments to ensure successful product launches and the rapid resolution of production-floor technical challenges.
• Enforce total compliance with established quality control protocols and SOPs, ensuring all factory output meets or exceeds internal and external specifications.
• Tracking and reporting on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), labor efficiency, and throughput for executive review.
• Synchronize with procurement and warehouse teams to align raw material availability with production schedules, ensuring zero downtime while maintaining lean inventory levels.
• Act as the lead for organizational or process changes, ensuring smooth transitions when introducing new machinery, shifts, or production methodologies.
• Perform special projects and urgent operational tasks assigned by leadership to address emerging business challenges and opportunities.

• Bachelor  degree in Engineering (Industrial, Mechanical, or Electrical), Operations Management, or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 7–10 years of progressive experience in a manufacturing environment, with at least 5 years in a dedicated supervisory or management role.
• Proven track record of implementing Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Total Quality Management (TQM) principles to drive operational improvements.
• Strong working knowledge of SAP (specifically modules related to production planning, inventory, and shop floor control); direct experience using SAP to drive data-based decision-making is highly preferred.
• Deep understanding of OSHA safety regulations and environmental compliance standards.
• Experience leading New Product Introductions (NPI) and facility-wide projects, ensuring timelines and budget constraints are strictly met.
• Demonstrated ability to perform root cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions for complex technical and operational issues.
• Proven ability to manage high-pressure situations, including emergency response planning and leading teams through organizational or process transitions.
• A strong "hands‑on" understanding of industrial machinery and automation, allowing for effective communication with maintenance and engineering teams.
